Tuesday night in Corrales, NM. The citizens stormed City Hall. A valuable lesson.

Tuesday night in Corrales, NM. The citizens stormed City Hall.

The Corrales Mayor, and at least one other council member attempted to impose a firearms ban on the QT. The "resolution" never appeared on the Village agenda, and had word not gotten out, it may very well have been railroaded through without the participation or knowledge of the full Village council and the larger community.

Word did get out, and the full council and community showed up and packed the room.

The "resolution" failed overwhelmingly.

It is unlikely that there will be any mention of this in the national media.

According a first person account - as the meeting began, the Mayor announced that the pledge of allegiance would be recited first in Spanish, and then in English. That apparently went over like a lead balloon. Everyone recited the pledge in English. The Mayor then said as a courtesy to Hispanics he would recite the pledge in Spanish. Everyone, but the Mayor (including a large number of Hispanic surnamed residents), then recited the pledge in English again EVEN LOUDER. The Mayor then admonished the crowd that they were being rude, and demanded that they say the pledge in Spanish. Once again, everyone recited the pledge quite loudly in English. The Mayors shoulders dropped, and without another word, he started the meeting.

We could learn from Corrales.
They were lucky that a news station mentioned it, otherwise it would have likely been passed in the darkness.

Non Governmental Organizations such as IANSA and other highly funded global groups are increasingly influencing law, not by attacking on the federal level, but by manipulating local governments.
If they sneak laws in enough large cities, the laws spread to the towns, then the nation. They're boiling a frog.

To be proactive, some steps could increase our strength to be unbeatable.

A "2A-threats" section, or moreover an "URGENT 2A threats" section with regional subsections, for those of us who watch our local government to post alerts would be the first step.

The second step could utilize new technology of Mass-Texting programs.
I've been studying the political phenomenon of Occupy in Portland closely. That's one of their main tools of coordination.
People sign up for text alerts by texting a code to a number, and they can coordinate multiple actions across whole cities.
If a few frequently active forum members who owned smart-phones were to act as regional hubs and back-up regional hubs, whole cities, counties, or states could be alerted of imminent 2A threats instantly.

Within a very short time after the alert, mass blocks of voting citizens with honed 2A arguments could converge on city counsels & other local government and force their hands, letting them know that nothing they do in dark rooms goes unnoticed.

Thank goodness for State pre-emption for CHL holders in Oregon. They'd have a harder time trying to do this under cover of darkness at the state level. I hope.

Unfortunately, they already did do it in Oregon. That was an Open carry ban, like we have in Portland & a few other cities.
It's one of those things that doesn't effect a person day to day, but then when a person without a CHL really should carry, like your wife calls you to get a ride home when a riot or whatever happens, then it's unlawful for people to carry.
They were trying to pass it as a "resolution" which technically isn't enforceable, but first off, we all likely know arguing law with an officer on the side of the rode is rather futile, and anyhow they'd get you for "restricted activities" or something similar. End result, the unlawful law would still be enforced.

I feel Localities, Governors, & even presidents are getting just a little too comfortable ruling by decree in the dark of the night lately.

The Back-Story came from Mike Rodgers of Lone Star Arms & was posted in the private business member-only subforum over on the Saiga-12 forum where I do business.
Robert Wright of R&R targets is probably the only other member here that can access the source-post.

It seems to check out though.
The two videos linked were live-streamed this last Tuesday Night. I watched both, and it seems all is in order with the back story...
As we can see in the first video the first thing the Mayor did was call the Fire chief in, in hopes
he could get the chief to say there were too many people so they could close the meeting down, but the Fire Chief wasn't buying it.

This onslaught on our gun rights is expected though.
small groups of "Non Governmental Organizations" which are just a front for international organizations which file EPA lawsuits, privately influence local government to influence resource rights laws & trick people with conservation easements to take people's property rights under the names of "Sustainability" "Smart growth" & "Precautionary Principle"... The last equates to some hippie having an idea of something that might make sense in a pipe dream, then having it enforced as environmental policy as a "Precaution".

Like; "A spotted owl mightnot like to hear chainsaws, so let's kill an industry, therefore a few small towns"

Or; "Your farms using water for irrigation might effect a fish, so looks like your Northern California City will have to die, because we're shutting off your water."

And of course; "Pesticides from your farm in Washington might effect water somewhere along the path to the ocean, so you can't farm your land within 500' from the irrigation ditches (waterways), so you lose 60% of the state's farm land."

Well, we just embarassed the Obama by pressuring him so much that he had to postpone the UN Small Arms Treaty, so we can expect the same tricks as above now when it comes to our Second Amendment rights.
We just must remember that our rights are Unalienable, meaning inherent. We couldn't even give them away if we wanted to.
They're not Inalienable, like people in the media keep saying, which means, given by the Government, who, in that case, could take them away...
So much weight, in 1 single letter... :/

There is no greater fool then one who believes he or she has any RIGHTS or FREEDOM, Just look at what is Happening in Lincoln County, to Gerald Conrady. The term a free country originaly ment free from taxs, property , Income, travel, free from control, you may own it , who controls it is the question, ETC.ETC.ETC. , that is all gone, wake up all of you, your money, currency is being debased in front of your eyes, do you have any idea what that means, taking away your guns is just a small piece of the puzzle of TOTALLITARIANISM, Total Control, its on its way. FACISIM , COMMUNISIM, SOCIALISIM, 1. All men are more easily inclined towards evil than good.
2. Preach Liberalism
3. Use the idea of freedom to bring about class wars
4. Any and all means should be used to reach the Illuminati Goals as they are justified.
5. The right to lie in force.
6. The power of our resources must remain invisible until the very moment it has gained the strength that no cunning or force can undermine it.

9. Seize property by any means
10. Use of slogans such as equity, liberty, fraternity delivered into the mouths of the masses in psychological warfare
11. War should be directed so that the nations on both sides are placed further in debt and peace conferences conducted so that neither combatant obtains territory rights.
12. Members must use their wealth to have candidates chosen and placed in public office who will be obedient to their demands and will be used as pawns in the game by those behind the scenes. Their advisors will have been reared and trained from childhood to rule the affairs of the world.
13. Control the press.
14. Agents will come forward after fermenting traumatic situations and appear to be the saviors of the masses.
15. Create industrial depression and financial panic, unemployment, hunger, shortage of food and use this to control the masses or mob and then use the mob to wipe out all those who stand in the way.
16. Infiltrate into the secret Freemasons to use them for Illuminati purposes.
17. Expound the value of systematic deception, use high sounding slogans and phrases and advocate lavish promises to the masses even though they cannot be kept.
18. Detail plans for resolutions, discuss the art of street fighting which is necessary to bring the population into speedy subjection.
19. Use agents as advisors behind the scenes after wars and use secret diplomacy to gain control.
20. Establish huge monopolies that lean toward world government control.
21. Use high taxes and unfair competition to bring about economic ruin by control of raw materials. Organize agitation among the workers and subsidize their competitors.
22. Build up armaments with Police forces and Soldiers sufficient to protect our needs.
23. Members and leaders of the one world government would be appointed by the directors.
24. Infiltrate into all classes and levels of society and government for the purpose of fooling, bemusing and corrupting the youthful members of society by teaching them theories and principles that we know to be false.
25. National and International laws should be used to destroy civilization and enslave and control the people.

You know what, this is exactly the kind of use of technology that I have been advocating increasingly over the last few years. I look at what successes leftist insurrectionist movements have had and try to find ways of applying them to my particular political bent...

One of the seminal works involving this is the Rand publication "Networks and Netwars" specifically "Netwar in the Emerald City" about the 1999 WTO riots...

If you havn't read it already... I highly recommend it.

As bad as it sounds (Techno-geeky) a text alert would work best for me. I travel around a lot due to my job.. I'm in state but all over throughout the day. If NWFA or OFF sent a critical alert or vital meeting via text I'd do my best to show up if/when and where needed.

 

[mosinguy]

i too like the text message idea the only thing that bothers me would be the fact that our cell phone numbers would be in a place where they could all be found in a type of community they would be targeting and even if the names werent attached to the numbers a reverse trace of the number and game over and yes there are ways around it i know but i for one cant afford to buy another cell phone

Your phone has an email based on the number where anything sent to it will be texted to your phone. Look it up at the carrier. You might also be able set up rules to forward emails to that address depending on your email service. Of course, an OFF email might be more than 10 texts.
