Who Controls America?

Exclusive: Who Controls America? Americans or a Few Elites?http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.2946/pub_detail.aspIf our new “Socialist Administration” were to begin implementing more stringent gun laws, or if they went as far to make it a criminal offense for any U.S. citizen to own any firearm, what would you do? Most citizens who believe in the right to own firearms for our protection would begin screaming, calling their elected officials, and insist their weapons will never be taken from them. Well this may sound good but in reality, most Americans would do exactly as they are doing now. Most would stay behind the scenes so as to not draw attention to themselves. No one wants to become an “open target” of the Obama administration as so many innocent people who dared to speak out and put themselves on the front line. Many would become tough guys/gals and write a few articles. Some would call their elected officials, but they would do it under the umbrella of an organization. Americans somehow feel safer if they have a group who is behind them. The same is happening when some people bring counterterrorism and national security issues to the forefront. I speak with hundreds of concerned Americans, but 99% do not want to be “out in the open.” This is a form of weakness and is playing into the cards of any organization who is trying to take the freedoms away from Americans. The Obama organization and its supporters, such as the terrorist Bill Ayers and Acorn, use our weakness to their advantage. Unless Americans become strong and one by one, and not as groups come forward and adamantly take the stance we will not allow our children to live under Socialism, nor will we give up the freedoms our forefathers fought and died for, we lose everything. We do have brave and well intentioned law enforcement (LE) and military personnel, but whose orders will they follow if the Obama administrators told them to round up all people who openly disagree with a socialist governmentwith many aspects of Islamic law? Who will the LE and military personnel follow when government officials (by order of our Commander in Chief) instruct LE and military personnel to confiscate all firearms owned by private persons? The vast majority or LE and military personnel would obey orders. Why? Not necessarily because they agree, but simply because they also don’t want to become the targets of an Obama administration. The LE and military personnel do not want to lose their jobs and become unemployed as millions of other Americans have become. Our LE and military personnel will first look after number one: themselves and their own families. This also is what our administration counts on. A paycheck of a few hundred dollars goes a long way to influence some people, even when it is something they know morally and for the best interest of our country is wrong. In the end, the decision would be our LE and military enforce the new laws. Then what would you do when there is no one behind you supporting you and you get a knock on your door at 3 a.m. Three tough-looking LE officers and a couple military personnel are at your door. They ask you if you have any firearms. They tell you a search will be conducted and if you are lying you will be treated as a traitor and punished under martial law. Now what do you do? Socialism and Islamic law has hit you personally. You have your wife and kids behind you. Do you act like a tough guy and surrender your weapons. It is my estimate 99% of Americans would do this because deep down they know all the article writers, conservative activists, and conservative talk show hosts would not support them, and they themselves would likely be the first to comply. Only 1% would openly refuse to release the America as we know it. What percentage do you fall within? These are questions every American should be asking oneself because if one believes it could not happen, you are fooling yourself. People will ask which one I would do. For 23.5 years, I was on active duty and a U.S. Federal Agent. My number one priority was to protect my country, our U.S. Constitution, and most importantly our children. This priority has never changed. Americans truly need to begin evaluating what is important to them. Do you love your country? Do you want to live under Sharia law, or a Socialist/Communist country, do you want to release your freedoms our U.S. Constitution gave us 200 plus years ago? Our brave young men and women in LE and our military have an obligation to protect our country and to never do anything contrary to this. If you do not put our country and our children as your number one priority, you need to turn in your badges and for military personnel you should request a discharge.FamilySecurityMatters.org Contributing Editor Dave Gaubatz spent 20 years as an active duty USAF (Special Agent/OSI), 3.5 years as a civilian 1811 Federal Agent, trained by the U.S. State Department in Arabic, and was the first U.S. Federal Agent to enter Iraq in 2003.
