Tactics For US Citizens to Take Down the Oversized Military Police State
Are we seeing yet more preparations for an imminent martial law? Why are Political Dissidents Homes Being Marked By FEMA? Does a blue mark in front of your home mean you will be sent to a FEMA camp, and red mark mean you will be shot on site? Can we the people fight this growing police state, and if so, how? The author of the article below states:
“This is tyranny dressed up in the official garb of the police state. It is the self-righteous, heavy-handed arm of the law being used as a decoy to divert your attention to the so-called criminals in your midst (the fisherman who threw back small fish into the ocean, the mother who let her child walk to the playground alone, the pastor holding Bible studies in his backyard) so that you don’t focus on the criminal behavior being perpetrated by the government (bribery, cronyism, electoral fraud, slush funds, graft, pork, theft, and on and on).”
The article below talks about a solution that I would call “the long game.” Over time, a technique once championed by John Hancock and John Adams known as Jury nullification could be used to thwart laws passed by a self-righteous oligarchy that refuses to live by the very laws they pass (COUGH, CLINTON, COUGH).
The video below is a stirring video by a former Sergeant in the United States Marine Corp who has a slightly different idea. The video below will transport you back to a time when our Forefathers were meeting in dark rooms to fight the greatest tyranny the world had ever known. You won’t have to imagine the level of adrenaline flowing in those dark rooms as they plotted for the very freedoms we sit idly by and watch evaporate today. By the time you finish watching the video, the former Sergeant will have you so fired up you’ll be ready to take to take this country back… by whatever means necessary. To quote the Sergeant,
“WE MUST DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND… WE MUST SAY THIS FAR, AND NO FARTHER! WE ARE AMERICANS, AND WE WILL FIGHT!”

“The people have the power, all we have to do is awaken that power in the people. The people are unaware. They’re not educated to realize that they have power. The system is so geared that everyone believes the government will fix everything. We are the government.”—John Lennon
Saddled with a corporate media that marches in lockstep with the government, elected officials who dance to the tune of their corporate benefactors, and a court system that serves to maintain order rather than mete out justice, Americans often feel as if they have no voice, no authority and no recourse when it comes to holding government officials accountable and combating rampant corruption and injustice.
We’re impotent in the face of SWAT teams that break down doors and leave toddlers scarred for life. We’re helpless to prevent police shootings that leave unarmed citizens dead for no other reason than the police officer involved felt “threatened.” We shrug dismissively over the plight of fellow citizens who have their heads cracked, their bodies broken and their rights violated for failing to jump to attention when a police officer issues an order. And we fail to care about the thousands of individuals who have been punished with extreme sentences for nonviolent offenses and are forced to spend their lives as modern-day slaves in bondage to private prisons and the profit-driven corporations they serve.
Make no mistake about it: virtually anything and everything is a crime nowadays (feeding the birds, growing vegetables in your front yard, etc.) to such an extent that if a prosecutor, police officer and judge were so inclined, you could be locked up for any inane reason.
This is tyranny dressed up in the official garb of the police state. It is the self-righteous, heavy-handed arm of the law being used as a decoy to divert your attention to the so-called criminals in your midst (the fisherman who threw back small fish into the ocean, the mother who let her child walk to the playground alone, the pastor holding Bible studies in his backyard) so that you don’t focus on the criminal behavior being perpetrated by the government (bribery, cronyism, electoral fraud, slush funds, graft, pork, theft, and on and on).
In the face of such abject injustice, outright corruption and overt inequality, it’s hard to feel empowered to believe the average citizen can make a difference. It’s hard to persuade anyone to stand against tyranny when all you can promise them as a reward is persecution, prosecution and a one-way trip to the morgue. And when the outcome seems to be a foregone conclusion—the government always wins—it can seem pointless, even foolhardy, to dare to challenge the system. As such, it’s far easier to buy into the political process, even though elections amount to nothing of consequence.
There are also those who subscribe to the notion that an armed revolution is the only thing that will save America. These armed resistors are making themselves easy targets and will be the first to be taken down by militarized police who are trained to kill and armed to the teeth with every kind of weapon imaginable, from grenade launchers and sniper rifles to armored vehicles and Black Hawk helicopters.

So how do you not only push back against the police state’s bureaucracy, corruption and cruelty but also launch a counterrevolution aimed at reclaiming control over the government using nonviolent means?
You start by changing the rules and engaging in some (nonviolent) guerilla tactics.
Employ militant nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience, which Martin Luther King Jr. used to great effect through the use of sit-ins, boycotts and marches.
Take part in grassroots activism, which takes a trickle-up approach to governmental reform by implementing change at the local level (in other words, think nationally, but act locally).
And then, while you’re at it, nullify everything the government does that is illegitimate, egregious or blatantly unconstitutional.
Various cities and states have been using this historic doctrine with mixed results on issues as wide ranging as gun control and healthcare to “claim freedom from federal laws they find onerous or wrongheaded.”
Where nullification can be particularly powerful, however, is in the hands of the juror.
As law professor Ilya Somin explains, jury nullification is the practice by which a jury refuses to convict someone accused of a crime if they believe the “law in question is unjust or the punishment is excessive.”
According to former federal prosecutor Paul Butler, the doctrine of jury nullification is “premised on the idea that ordinary citizens, not government officials, should have the final say as to whether a person should be punished.”
Imagine that: a world where the citizenry—not the government or its corporate controllers—actually calls the shots and determines what is just.
In a world of “rampant overcriminalization,” where the average citizen unknowingly breaks three laws a day, jury nullification acts as “a check on runaway authoritarian criminalization and the increasing network of confusing laws that are passed with neither the approval nor oftentimes even the knowledge of the citizenry.”
Indeed, Butler believes so strongly in the power of nullification to balance the scales between the power of the prosecutor and the power of the people that he advises:
If you are ever on a jury in a marijuana case, I recommend that you vote “not guilty” — even if you think the defendant actually smoked pot, or sold it to another consenting adult. As a juror, you have this power under the Bill of Rights; if you exercise it, you become part of a proud tradition of American jurors who helped make our laws fairer.
In other words, it’s “we the people” who can and should be determining what laws are just, what activities are criminal and who can be jailed for what crimes.
Not only should the punishment fit the crime, but the laws of the land should also reflect the concerns of the citizenry as opposed to the profit-driven priorities of Corporate America.
Unfortunately, for thousands of Americans who are serving life sentences for nonviolent crimes as a result of harsh mandatory sentencing laws passed by “tough on crime” politicians, the punishment rarely fits the crime.
As I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, with every ill inflicted upon us by the American police state, from overcriminalization and surveillance to militarized police and private prisons, it’s money that drives the police state. And there is a lot of money to be made from criminalizing nonviolent activities and jailing Americans for nonviolent offenses.
This is where the power of jury nullification is so critical: to reject inane laws and extreme sentences and counteract the edicts of a profit-driven governmental elite that sees nothing wrong with jailing someone for a lifetime for a relatively insignificant crime.
Of course, the powers-that-be don’t want the citizenry to know that it has any power at all.
They would prefer that we remain clueless about the government’s many illicit activities, ignorant about our constitutional rights, and powerless to bring about any real change. Indeed, so determined are they to keep us in the dark about the powers vested in “we the people” that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1895 that jurors had no right during trials to be told about nullification.
Moreover, anyone daring to educate a jury about nullification runs the risk of prosecution. Just recently, for example, 56-year-old Mark Iannicelli was charged with seven counts of jury tampering for handing out jury nullification fliers outside a Denver courtroom. Now Iannicelli is not being accused of advocating for or against any case in progress, nor is he charged with targeting any particular members of the jury. Nevertheless, Iannicelli could be sentenced to one to three years in prison because he dared to educate the jurors about an option that no judge or prosecutor ever mentions in court: the right to acquit someone who may be guilty if they also believe that the law is unjust.
Such intimidation tactics proved less successful when used against Julian Heicklen, who was accused of jury tampering for handing out nullifications pamphlets in Manhattan. A federal district court judge found Heicklen not only innocent of the charge of jury tampering, but went so far as to warn that the law—18 U.S.C. § 1504—raises significant First Amendment concerns (“the First Amendment squarely protects speech concerning judicial proceedings and public debate regarding the functioning of the judicial system, so long as that speech does not interfere with the fair and impartial administration of justice”).
Jury nullification has played a significant role in our nation’s history. It was championed early on by John Hancock and John Adams and relied on at various points since then to push back against laws deemed egregious, unjust or simply out of step with the times. Most recently, jury nullification has become a popular tactic to thwart laws that mandate harsh punishments for those convicted of possessing even minimal amounts of marijuana.
For instance, in one case I worked on years ago, a jury refused to convict a 54-year-old man who had been charged with possession of marijuana.

Prosecutors claimed that a SWAT team, doing an area-wide land and air sweep, had spotted two marijuana plants growing in the hollow of a dead tree on the man’s 39-acre property. Had the man been found guilty, he would have been sentenced to jail and his 90-year-old mother, blind, deaf and dependent on him for care, would have had to be institutionalized.
In delivering his closing arguments, the prosecutor warned the jury that disagreement with the laws against pot possession and disapproval of police tactics are not valid reasons to nullify a case. Of course, those are exactly the reasons why more Americans should opt for nullification.
In an age in which government officials accused of wrongdoing—police officers, elected officials, etc.—are treated with general leniency, while the average citizen is prosecuted to the full extent of the law, jury nullification is a powerful reminder that, as the Constitution tells us, “we the people” are the government.
For too long we’ve allowed our so-called “representatives” to call the shots. Now it’s time to restore the citizenry to their rightful place in the republic: as the masters, not the servants.
Jury nullification is one way of doing so.
The reality with which we must contend is that justice in America is reserved for those who can afford to buy their way out of jail.
For the rest of us who are dependent on the “fairness” of the system, there exists a multitude of ways in which justice can and does go wrong every day. Police misconduct. Prosecutorial misconduct. Judicial bias. Inadequate defense. Prosecutors who care more about winning a case than seeking justice. Judges who care more about what is legal than what is just. Jurors who know nothing of the law and are left to deliberate in the dark about life-and-death decisions. And an overwhelming body of laws, statutes and ordinances that render the average American a criminal, no matter how law-abiding they might think themselves.
As I’ve said before, when you go into a courtroom, you’re going up against three adversaries who more often than not are operating off the same playbook: the police, the prosecutor and the judge.
If you’re to have any hope of remaining free—and I use that word loosely—your best bet remains in your fellow citizens.
They may not know what the Constitution says (studies have shown Americans to be abysmally ignorant about their rights), they may not know what the laws are (there are so many on the books that the average American breaks three laws a day without knowing it), and they may not even believe in your innocence, but if you’re lucky, they will have a conscience that speaks louder than the legalistic tones of the prosecutors and the judges and reminds them that justice and fairness go hand in hand.
That’s ultimately what jury nullification is all about: restoring a sense of fairness to our system of justice. It’s the best protection for “we the people” against the oppression and tyranny of the government, and God knows, we can use all the protection we can get.
Most of all, jury nullification is a powerful way to remind the government—all of those bureaucrats who have appointed themselves judge, jury and jailer over all that we are, have and do—that we’re the ones who set the rules.
If they don’t like it, they can get another job.

THE Federal Government GAVE LOCAL POLICE STATIONS Military High Powered War Grade WEAPONS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THIS IS THE ONLY WAY U.S. CITIZENS CAN PHYSICALLY TAKE OUR NATION BACK BY FORCE, AND KICK THE GOV OUT OF OUR CITIES! NO Law Enforcers WITH Weapons=NO Forcible Gov LAWS-RIGHT? THIS IS THEIR VERY WEAKNESS U.S. CITIZENS WERE NOT SUPPOSE TO KNOW! Think for a moment. (Do you really think they gave these war weapons to hold for the Army or Military? No-Used Against You!)
If your Local Police are already Gathered in force, here are some Very Simple steps YOU can take to Corner and Control THEM; vs THEM Controlling you. Remember, For Citizens Freedom and Victory, YOU HAVE TO CONTROL THEM! If you can “Contain” them inside their very own Buildings, they can do NO harm to you! READ THE BELOW COMMENTS FOR MORE LIFE SAVING REAL WORLD TACTICS WHAT TO DO IN YOUR VERY OWN CITY! Little Small town USA like yours is the Real Ground Zero for Freedom!
THIS IS HOW TO DISRUPT/STOP THEM IN THEIR TRACKS:
-Stop ALL police vehicles from leaving their parking lots (no movement anywhere) (Abandening vehicles close to each other so they can not drive around/thru them to “Spread” their criminal actions against anyone. But remember to remove the keys so they can not move them easily);
-Block their police vehicles from refueling at gas stations (no gas no control) (Abanden 10+ cars all around the hose/nossels; no access to refuel (Remember take the keys);
-Disable their vehicles so they can not be driven to harm anyone (flat tires,etc…);
-Stop their electric power to their station so they have no Lights/Computers/Heat/Air;
-Remove Outside Communication Wires/Antennas (no way to talk/plan harm against us);
-Stop food from going into Resupplying them (starve them into submission);
-Stop/Cut Off their Water Supply from entering their Location (no water=no life for long);
-Stop everyone from entering/leaving Location so they GET NO SLEEP/Fresh Personnel (they can not last long w/o sleep);

Remember to locate all Police Officers and Gov Officials homes and know where their families are and live. They may come in handy to get them on We The People side so they do not harm a single community member, as they are paid to do. Police are paid to ENFORCE ALL ORDERS, INCLUDING USING DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT THE CRIMINAL SYSTEM IN YOUR COMMUNITY! SO THEY ARE YOUR #1 ENEMY! Their is NOT A SINGLE HONEST POLICE OFFICER! Anyone who says they are, liar. They hear and see and ignore fellow officers inside their own departments, that the public does not hear. Did they turn them in and file a formal complaint? No? They are then a criminal cop….
Bless you and your family and “We The People” regain our Freedom from the Criminal US Gov…
Folks, The real answer to change regarding the vacating of the current fictional corporate government nonsense is here: http://www.hudok.info I suggest taking several hours to go through this entire website in order to grasp the reality in the power of the people. Once you absorb the contents, it will be time to get your arse to Charleston, West Virginia on or before 09/24/2015. To get additional pertinent information, join in on this very important conference call being held tomorrow with good numbers of national militia commanders, veteran motorcycle club leaders, and national representatives of Anonymous. Thursday, September 17, 2015 at 8:00 PM Eastern, 5:00 PM Pacific at: (605) 562-3140 Access code: 399791# I promise you will be glad that you did.
Yeah – really… The real answer to change by what, being told the history of how we got where we are today? Why doesn’t it tell me ONE THING I can do as a person to STOP THEM? You can’t, andyour basic BS links give NOT A SINGLE THING I can do to impact TPTB. Why can’t you give a ACTUAL WORKING SOLUTION TO WHAT I CNA DO, and someone else? You only give “Information” so how does that impact my life? Its doesn’t now does it?
As for who is part of it, I’m a war vet and not one VET motorcycle club in WI knows anything about anything! You seem to be stretching the truth on who participates…
So what are your Military Officers doing to help? Not a dam thing right? They are BRIBED TO REMAIN SILENT,as they collection their $10k a month bribe to REMAIN SILENT…
THIS IS A SHILL US CRIMINAL GOV TO GET ALL THE HONEST PATRIOTS SET UP AND KNOW WHO YOU ARE! MY GOD, IF THIS WAS LEGIT, THEY WOULD HAVE THEIR OWN SMALL NETWORK, AND NOT A US GOV BACKED AND RECORDED WEBSITE!
ANYONE GIVING AND USING A BOGUS NATIONAL FREE WEBSITE, WITH THIS TYPE OF ACCESS CODE, IS 100% RECORDED AND CONTROLLED!
IF YOU ARE A PATRIOT, DO NOT CALL THEM! Why can’t they purchsae a $100 telephone private network and connect it? It is BECAUSE CALLS ARE BEING SET UP BY THE CRIMINAL US GOV AS AN ENEMY OF THE STATE!
The people in the USA don’t even have the balls to take on the banker puppets in Washington when the law is on there side like is the case over 9/11 and the cover up where building just fall over that were not even hit by a plane and no one can get any answers as to what went wrong with the laws of physics on 9/11.
Far too many people in the USA are brown coats and will work for the state so long as it throws them a few pieces of silver so that brother fights brother.
If you go after the state then be ready for race wars that are already planned, even fake news releases have been stacked up ready to deceive the masses by Hollywod production corporations and yes, most are jewish owned corporations who want to bring ou your “End Times”
