Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

US joins Hitler and Stalin


The first step is to take away the guns from the citizens so they cannot defend themselves.

Below is long blog, but it is better kept together. I am sad that people don't read, but I don't have the time to make a snappy blog or, better, an award winning movie. Even if you just scan it, you will realize, many of you who don't see it now, that there is something going on.

Pending is HR 45 submitted by, surprise, a Chicago radical. Years ago, Bobby Rush started the Chapter Black Panther chapter, a community organizer to the heart. You know the communist organization sworn to kill pigs. He was jailed in 1972 for a weapons conviction. Lest you leftists try to think up an argument that he is OK and just a poor, misunderstood dropout Congressman, he said this about Mr. Obama, lifted from Wikki:
...Rush said: "Barack Obama went to Harvard and became an educated fool. Barack is a person who read about the civil-rights protests and thinks he knows all about it."[3]
So, our Marx and Lenin are bringing along the Bolsheviks who will wait for the right time to knock them off. That Obama is too lame for Bobby.

We will go through the amnesia again: half the country will smile or sleep while being stripped, oh, changed.

Of course there is great logic: Let us stop the crazy man from shooting innocent people; lets make sure that only the government can have guns, as there are no crazy men there. Lets ignore the Constitution, as it is inconvenient and not relevant.

What part of the word "infringe" am I missing.

No one seems to recall the Jews did not have any guns in Poland, nor did anyone in Stalin's Russia, or Cambodia, or.... oh, never mind. Those who are stupid will relive history, or something like that. They think tyranny will not happen here as Americans are better than everyone; oh, wait, they always say we are not and are arrogant. Or, was it only Chaney who was evil. Its hard watching the bouncing ball.

...The Night of the Broken Glass (Kristallnacht) the infamous Nazi rampage against Germany's Jews, took place in November 1938. It was preceded by the confiscation of firearms from the Jewish victims. On Nov. 8, The New York Times reported from Berlin, "Berlin Police Head Announces 'Disarming' of Jews," explaining...

"The Berlin Police President, Count Wolf Heinrich von Helldorf, announced that as a result of a police activity in the last few weeks the entire Jewish population of Berlin had been 'disarmed' with the confiscation of 2,569 hand weapons, 1,702 firearms and 20,000 rounds of ammunition. Any Jews still found in possession of weapons without valid licenses are threatened with the severest punishment."2

On the evening of Nov. 9...Orders went out to Nazi security forces: "All Jewish stores are to be destroyed immediately . Jewish synagogues are to be set on fire . The Führer wishes that the police does not intervene. All Jews are to be disarmed. In the event of resistance they are to be shot immediately."3

..."One of the first legal measures issued was an order by Heinrich Himmler, commander of all German police, forbidding Jews to possess any weapons whatever and imposing a penalty of twenty years confinement in a concentration camp upon every Jew found in possession of a weapon hereafter."4 Thousands of Jews were taken away...

Finding out which Jews had firearms was not too difficult. The liberal Weimar Republic passed a Firearm Law in 1928 requiring extensive police records on gun owners. Hitler signed a further gun control law in early 1938.

...When the Nazis took over Czechoslovakia and Poland in 1939, it was a simple matter to identify gun owners [from lists.] Many of them disappeared in the middle of the night along with political opponents

For the rest of us, a word to the wise - and advice to vote against everyone.

"None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important, but especially so at a moment when rights the most essential to our welfare have been violated." --Thomas Jefferson to -----, 1803. ME 10:365

"A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular; and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inferences." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1787. ME 6:388, Papers 12:440

Below is the Second Amendment, read it with an eye toward English grammar, something we are avoiding these days. It is important to recall our ancestors actually followed rules about structure. The Amendment does not say the "regulated" militia will be protected, the existence of the militia was assumed a priori; the Amendment says in order to keep the militia in good shape, gun ownership shall not be infringed. Without a people bearing arms, there is no militia. To Jefferson, then, there is no defense for liberty without an armed and trained citizenry.

Those who feel this Amendment is no longer relevant and dangerous - too bad. Go change it the way the Constitution provides. Without a respect for the RULES we are a mob in search of a tyrant. Why would anyone respect a government who subverts the rules by which is was created?

We are heading down the path where the soft-headed will wake up one day and realize what they have done. Some will stick to their heroes and hopes, unable to permit self criticism; others will back into the shadows and hope those crazy right wing people can restore a semblance of the former America. They view the middle or anyone who is concerned about due process as right wing.

As was said, you may not be interested in politics (which is more than idol worship), but politics is interested in you.

I guess we can make an exception for illegal aliens. They should be exempted from any laws.

Didn't we go through this with the poll tax and tests? Didn't the Court decide that fees and regulation are not permitted regarding a reserved right of the individual?

HR 45 to impose federal gun control

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." ~ Second Amendment - The Bill of Rights

Well, one cannot be surprised to see this Bill come to the House of Representatives. When Democrats took control of congress in 2006 and began setting up their plans, waiting for a Democrat in the White House who would sign their legislation, those who were watching knew gun control would not be far behind any socialist spending spree they got away with. Now here it is: HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009. So far, this legislation is flying under the radar, and Democrats in Congress are hoping that it remains that way.

This bill is an underhanded attempt [Gene: why is this underhanded? It is overt.] to eliminate the constitutional right to ownership of Firearms. It would require that all gun owners be licensed. It requires a thumb print, a universal background check, a Passport quality photo. But wait, there’s more: “any firearm owned by the applicant safely stored and out of the possession of persons who have not attained 18 years of age”, in other words, a gun safe.

Wait, we're not done yet, you must pass a written firearms exam, you must release any and all mental health examinations and records. Firearms must be purchased from a licensed dealer, licensing to sell is of course at the discretion of the Attorney General and the seller must be licensed as well. Then there is the 25$ fee, and then you can get your license to own a firearm. Fail to do any of these things and you can not own a gun. You will have to renew your license as well. When you can finally exercise your constitutional right to buy a gun, the gun dealer or seller must provide the following:

(1) the manufacturer of the firearm;

(2) the model name or number of the firearm;

(3) the serial number of the firearm;

(4) the date on which the firearm was received by the transferee;

(5) the number of a valid firearm license issued to the transferee under title I of this Act; and

(6) the name and address of the individual who transferred the firearm to the transferee.

It gets better yet; the United States Attorney General has 9 months after this act passes to create the Federal Record of Sale System. This is the juicy part: SEC. 202. FIREARM RECORDS (c) Elimination of Prohibition on Establishment of System of Registration- Section 926(a) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by striking the second sentence. You see, right now, this act is Illegal in the United States, so they have to repeal that part of the US code.

The Federal Government has absolutely no Constitutional authority to regulate fire arms, or their sale. The Second Amendment states that the people have the right to bear arms, mostly so they could overthrow an oppressive government such as the British in the 1770’s. An unarmed population is at the utter mercy of an armed population. That is a simple truth. If any Government has the authority to regulate Firearms it is the individual states, not the federal government.

This brings us to a discussion once again of an out of control federal government stomping all over the constitution and our civil rights. If we the people allow this bill to become law…. We will have lost just about every protection we as citizens have against an oppressive country, and the last vestiges of our freedom will truly be gone. You won’t even be able to go elk hunting, or skeet shooting, or chucker hunting without the OK from the Federal Government.

The full text of this bill can be found here: OpenCongress.org

Oh, one last little fact to make us all feel warm and fuzzy: SEC. 801. INAPPLICABILITY TO GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. This Act and the amendments made by this Act shall not apply to any department or agency of the United States, of a State, or of a political subdivision of a State, or to any official conduct of any officer or employee of such a department or agency.

The only entity that will be allowed to own firearms without licensing or registration, will be the Government.

Do not for an instant think this is about lowering crime, its about making it as difficult as possible to own or purchase a firearm. It is about making it a criminal offense, punishable by law, to own a firearm in the United States with out an OK from the Federal Government.

Bills like these in a Democrat Congress should concern everyone. Though it is not scheduled to get a hearing in the House Judiciary Committee the Bill's Author Rep. Bobby Rush from Chicago Il. 1st. District reintroduced the bill Jan 6, 2009. As of 2/9/2009 the bill was Referred to House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.

Now, it could be said Rush is not very smart, being a dropout and convict and all, so it is understandable that he is anti-Constitution and pro Marxist. That is true, that is a reason to be Marxist, being stupid and all, but that is no reason to elect him to the House or for peers or journalists to not mention his radical bill. My take is the left is watching to see the reaction before moving ahead, one way or the other. The notion of rights is irrelevant.

A poster to occupied France:

Ordinance Concerning the Possession of Arms and Radio Transmitters in the Occupied Territories

1) All firearms and all sorts of munitions, hand grenades, explosives and other war materials must be surrendered immediately.
Delivery must take place within 24 hours to the closest Kommandantur [German commander's office] unless other arrangements have been made. Mayors will be held strictly responsible for the execution of this order. The [German] troop commanders may allow exceptions.
2) Anyone found in possession of firearms, munitions, hand grenades or other war materials will be sentenced to death or forced labor or in lesser cases prison.
3) Anyone in possession of a radio or a radio transmitter must surrender it to the closest German military authority.
4) All those who would disobey this order or would commit any act of violence in the occupied lands against the German army or against any of its troops will be condemned to death.

The Commander in Chief of the Army

Lets see, HR 45 and the Fairness Doctrine....
