Chesty Puller On “Loyalty Down”

Puller: “I also learned that this loyalty to one’s Corps travels both ways, up and down.”

The following is in relation to the well-known Ribbon Creek/S/Sgt Matthew McKeon trial at MCRD, Parris Island, SC, in 1956

Amid a nationwide public outcry regarding the whole matter of the drownings in particular and Marine Corps training practices in general, LtGen Lewis B. “Chesty” Puller was recalled to active duty to testify at the trial regarding Marine training and tradition. Mrs. Puller protested to her husband citing previous trouble and controversy in Puller’s career. Puller told her, “…The important thing is the Marine Corps. If we let ‘em, they’ll tear it to pieces. Headquarters won’t speak up. It’s my duty to do it.”

At the trial, Puller was asked questions pertaining to his own military service, the mission of the Marine Corps, the most important element of Marine training, etc. In part, Puller replied that:, “…The definition of military training is success in battle. In my opinion, it is the only objective of military training…”

He quoted Napoleon. “He stated that the most important thing in military training is discipline. Without discipline an army becomes a mob.”

Puller was asked what he had learned here (PISC) as a recruit. He replied, “Well, the main thing—that I have rememberd all my life—is the definition of espirit de corps. Now my definition—that I was taught, that I’ve always believed in—is that espirit de corps means love for one’s military legion. In my case the United States Marine Corps. I also learned that this loyalty to one’s Corps travels both ways, up and down.

Malice Toward All, Charity Toward None: The Foundations of the American State by Thomas DiLorenzo

Malice Toward All, Charity Toward None: The Foundations of the American State by Thomas DiLorenzo

Malice Toward All, Charity Toward None:

The Foundations of the American State by Thomas DiLorenzo: “‘Americans are forever proclaiming our boastful aspersions to the world . . . that our government was based on the consent of the people,’ though in fact ‘it rests upon force, as much as any government that ever existed.’

~ Letter from Robert E. Lee to E.G.W. Butler, Oct. 11, 1867

‘[H]ad the Confederates somehow won, had their victory put them in position to bring their chief opponents before some sort of tribunal, they would have found themselves justified . . . in stringing up President Lincoln and the entire Union high command for violation of the laws of war, specifically for waging war against noncombatants.’

~ Lee Kennett, Marching through Georgia: A Life of William Tecumseh Sherman, p. 286

In his book Battle Cry for Freedom: The Civil War Era (p. 619), Lincoln cultist James McPherson wrote that some 50,000 Southern civilians perished during the War to Prevent Southern Independence. Others have made estimates that are much higher. The only way this could be possible is that if thousands were murdered in cold blood by the U.S. Army.”

Protecting Fourth Amendment Wireless Rights

Protecting Fourth Amendment Wireless Rights

Protecting Fourth Amendment Wireless Rights: “…Primarily, the GPS Act would require that government agencies demonstrate probable cause and obtain a warrant before being allowed access to an individual’s geolocation information. It also defines exceptions for requiring a warrant, including in national emergencies (mirroring existing wiretapping law), the monitoring of children by their parents, and emergency calling systems (e.g., 9-1-1).

The GPS Act is vitally important not only to protect 4th Amendment rights, but also to provide clear, consistent, and understandable standards for law enforcement and wireless carriers. Without it, the government will maintain its vague and near limitless authority over the wireless data of American citizens. It’s introduction follows a similar bill introduced by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) that expands ECPA law to cover online cloud computing services, where personal data is stored on systems owned by third parties…

The Declaration of Independence (Revised)

The Declaration of Independence (Revised):

“Again, this sort of rhetoric could be applied retroactively to the late unpleasantness of 1861—65. Strike it.

CONCLUSION

The revised version should be sent to every state department of education in the United States, warning all of them that if the revised version of this document is not presented in the textbooks they adopt for use in the state’s public schools, then all Federal funding will be removed in the following fiscal year.

Now go out and enjoy the Fourth of July. Light a firecracker. Enjoy a Roman candle or two. Never forget: the Fourth of July is to the memory of American independence what Labor Day is to labor.”

ATF Hosts Its First ‘Gay Pride’ Observance: “The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), under fire for allowing U.S.-purchased guns to flow to Mexican criminals, celebrated its first gay pride event on Wednesday.

The celebration at ATF’s Washington headquarters was intended to recognize the “accomplishments and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans to ATF and the nation, and to promote awareness of the LGBT culture,” ATF said in a news release.

‘ATF works to ensure sexual orientation discrimination and prejudice are not tolerated in our workplace,’ said Acting Director Kenneth Melson. ‘ATF is an equal employment opportunity environment where effective and equitable participation is encouraged.”

The keynote speaker, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), spoke about his experiences serving as an openly gay congressman.

Obama’s ineligibility: We now have elective despotism:

“We have elections, but we have no representation. Congress operates much like the Mafia, except the Mafiosi are not paralyzed with fear when someone calls them “racist” or “birther.”

A made man, also known as a wise-guy, is someone who has been officially inducted into the Mafia.

After the ceremony (election) the inductee (candidate) is then a made man and a full member of the Mafia hierarchy (Congress). The made man now enjoys the full protection and backing of the Mafia establishment (Congressional leadership) as long as he remains in favor (does what he’s told) and earns enough money (squeezes taxpayers), of which a percentage of his earnings are passed further up the hierarchy (kick-backs to buy votes for the next election).

Omert�is the Mafia “code of silence”.

President Ron Paul’s Likely Supreme�Court�Nominations by Walter Block:

“My first nomination is of course Andrew Napolitano. As an ex judge, surely he has an inside track. I hesitate to mention him in this context because I see him more as a Vice Presidential candidate than a potential Supreme Court judge.

But, if Dr. Paul chooses someone else for that position, it is hard to imagine a better nomination than Andrew. There is also a sitting judge, U.S. Federal District Court of New Orleans, Martin Feldman, who is a personal friend of Judge Napolitano’s. Marty, who on October 12, 1983 was appointed United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana by President Reagan, is justly famous for lifting Pres. Obama’s deep water oil drilling ban in the Gulf Mexico.

White House (Obama Administration) loosens border rules for 2012:

“resident Barack Obama’s administration is quietly offering a quasi-amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, while aiming to win reelection by mobilizing a wave of new Hispanic voters, say supporters of stronger immigration law enforcement.

The new rules were quietly announced Friday with a new memo from top officials at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The “prosecutorial discretion” memo says officials need not enforce immigration laws if illegal immigrants are enrolled in an education center or if their relatives have volunteered for the US military.

Unfortunately, this is a germane question, and I suspect it may be on the minds of many thinking conservatives right now.

Suppose Romney does get the 2012 nomination. Then what? If he wins the Presidency, will Romney be Obama’s Reagan? Will Romney undo the damage Obama has inflicted on our great nation and steer us back to a prosperous and fruitful course? No, of course not.

Feds look to regulate food similar to tobacco, with hopes of saving money on health care

Feds look to regulate food similar to tobacco, with hopes of saving money on health care:

“The federal government has a growing interest in the eating habits of Americans for the same reason it has an interest in tobacco consumption, said Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

The reason is money, because three-quarters of medical-spending is driven by chronic diseases, such as obesity and tobacco-related diseases, she said.

Sebelius’ comments came at the tail-end of Tuesday’s White House press conference where officials showcased nine new photos that must be carried on cigarette packs. Officials used a survey of 18,000 people to find the images that would have the most distressing impact on groups of smokers, including young smokers and mothers of young kids.

America’s New Racists by Walter E. Williams

America’s New Racists by Walter E. Williams

America’s New Racists by Walter E. Williams:

“Born in 1936, I’ve lived through some of our openly racist history, which has included racist insults, beatings and lynchings. Tuskegee Institute records show that between the years 1880 and 1951, 3,437 blacks and 1,293 whites were lynched.

I recall my cousin’s and my being chased out of Fishtown and Grays Ferry, two predominantly Irish Philadelphia neighborhoods, in the 1940s, not stopping until we reached a predominantly black North or South Philly neighborhood.

Today all that has changed. Most racist assaults are committed by blacks. What’s worse is there’re blacks, still alive, who lived through the times of lynching, Jim Crow laws and open racism who remain silent in the face of it.”

“Today, 18 years after that 72- page report, returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are grouped with the Christian right and those who oppose the shari’azation of America, as threats to democracy.

From that perspective, it’s no wonder the social progressive federal bureaucracy are arming themselves with government edicts as America’s politicians sell their souls to the princes of industry and the barons of banking. They are both worried about the American people—and, perhaps, with reason.”

Straight Talk From Top Enlisted Marine on ‘Don’t Ask’ Repeal – Washington Wire – WSJ

“How dare we, then, exclude a group of people who want to do the same thing you do right now, something that is honorable and noble?” Sgt. Maj. Barrett continued, raising his voice just a notch. “Right?”

Sgt. Maj. Barrett then described conversations with U.K. troops, who saw a similar ban lifted a decade ago, with little disruption. And to drive the point home, he produced a pocket copy of the Constitution.

“Get over it,” he said. “We’re magnificent, we’re going to continue to be. … Let’s just move on, treat everybody with firmness, fairness, dignity, compassion and respect. Let’s be Marines.””
