The Ron Paul wingnuts are at it again folks. One of the looniest wingnuts is Jim Martindale. Today he sent this to several local and state officials, and one of those elected officials found it funny enough to forward to yours truly. It tells how the Bush administration is secretly planning to “Suspend the US Constitution”.
Believe it or not, this Martindale is also an appointed precinct committeeman. Now that’s scary.

I pray that you have not deleted this yet or that you have found it in your spam folder, and will please read every syllable of this recounting of the militarization of our police forces. I well-remember, Bill, your words in this regards during a phone conversation several months ago. This well-documented piece substantially puts the pieces together so that anyone can see the plan. So often, you as public servants, are so busy with the daily routines there isn’t time to put a perspective to the day in which we are living.
Please, please, please is all I can say. I have made acquaintance with a retired 30 year veteran sheriff from Iowa (cc’d here) who understands the thrust of this article and I believe is uniquely prepared and qualified to speak to the issues of public safety in our county and city. I have asked him to consider coming to our fair city to speak and be prepared to answer questions as regards this encroachment of (para) military force into our everyday lives. Once again please, get acquainted with this man and the rapidly deteriorating situation.
These comments are from Jim in an email I received recently after I had forwarded his editorial comments on News With Views to numerous friends:
Thanks for your consideration.

In Service to the King of Kings
Dear Jim,
thank you for most sincerely for sharing my writings with others. You have my profound thanks for doing so.
Many people have an uneasy feeling that things are in fact very wrong and have picked up on many matters that do not add up and have every appearance of being very inimical to a sound and healthy society and nation. They are afraid to express their uneasiness and suspicions out of fear of being labeled a nutcase and being ridiculed. The fact is that it is they who are sound of mind and perception and those who ridicule them are the real crackpots.
So what I try to do is step up and speak for the many very levelheaded and well-informed people in this country. It really does not bother me if some call me a fruitcake since I know that I am not, and I am not going to let those who try to hide their villainous, self-serving and greedy activities intimidate me.
I try to write logically and with common sense, many of those good people whom I addressed above are capable of doing the same, they just do not realize it. All that is necessary is to be absolutely truthful, honest and unafraid. That is all we can do in the face of tyranny, if enough people step up maybe we will see a beginning of a turnaround, but if we remain silent we can expect that we will continue to be ruled over by despots. Even so come soon, Lord Jesus.
Again, I am most grateful for your support, and pray God’s blessings upon you.
Respectfully,
Jim Schwiesow

Secret Bush Administration Plan to Suspend US Constitution
“Continuity of Government” (COG) Provisions activated in 2001
By Tom Burghardt
Global Research, October 6, 2008
Antifascist Calling…Ten months before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld approved an updated version of the U.S. Army’s secret operational Continuity of Government (COG) plans.
A draft document published by the whistleblowing website Wikileaks entitled, “Army Regulation 500-3, Emergency Employment of Army and Other Resources. Army Continuity of Operations (COOP) Program,” dated 19 January 2001, spells out changes in Army doctrine.
Issued by Headquarters, Department of the Army and signed off by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and the Secretary of the Army, the document is affixed with a warning: “Destruction Notice: Destroy by any method that will prevent disclosure of contents or reconstruction of the document.” The restricted document as published by Wikileaks states:
History. This regulation is a revision of the original regulation that was effective on 10 July 1989. Since that time, no changes have been published to amend the original.
Summary. This regulation on the Army Continuity of Operations (COOP) Program has been revised to update Army COOP policy and extend the requirement for all-hazards COOP planning to all Army organizations. Classified information contained in the 1989 version of this AR has been removed and placed in a classified HQDA Operations Plan (OPLAN).
Applicability. This regulation applies to the Active Army, the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR), and when federalized to the Army National Guard (ARNG). In the event of conflict between this regulation and approved OSD or JCS publications, the provisions of the latter will apply. (”Army Regulation 500-3, Emergency Employment of Army and Other Resources. Army Continuity of Operations (COOP) Program,” 19 January 2001, p. 3) [emphasis added]
“All-hazards COOP planning” is described as the means by which “the Army remains capable of continuing mission-essential operations during any situation, including military attack, terrorist activities, and natural or man-made disasters.” While the Army stresses the updates described in AR 500-3 relate to chemical, biological, nuclear attacks, “natural disasters” and “technical or man-made disasters or accidents,” current Army doctrine is also heavily weighted towards contingency planning for “civil disturbances.”
Two national “civil disturbance” plans, Garden Plot and Cable Splicer have been operational since the 1960s.
The wingnuttery continues here.
Whack-a-ding-dong!

Does he stay awake all night looking for little green men landing in his field? The government also brought down World Trade #7, and there was a second shooter on the grassy knoll, god do not tell me about Roswell. Now I know why our baseball team was named the Tin Hats, alot of they living around here, opps tin foil hats, sorry Tin Hats.
This conspiracy might take effect, BUT there is another conspiracy brewing to overtake this conspiracy, AND if we don’t pay attention we will miss the super secret conspiracy that has been put in place to overtake the brewing conspiracy which is just in the planning stages but developed enough to foil the Italian conspirators who are working against the Russian conspirators who are working with the secret Australian coconspirators who have been on vacation while their Ecudorian counterparts take the conspiratorial helm. Please don’t read this message too closely or you will self-destruct.
Does that wingnut know that plans like that are laid out by every President, since at least the 60’s. I could have been long before then but I heard about it back during JFK’s election.
I bet he would also have supported the theory in the 1960’s the United States had nukes missles airborne 24 hours a day across North America and that they where waiting on the call to bomb some US city if some protest march got too far out of hand. The fact was we had B-52s flying 24 hours aday with nuke tipped missles ready for any USSR attack. Oh, the good old days when the earth could have been destoryed in about 25 minutes!
Now someone pass the peanuts, I like a few with my beer.
And just exactly who was on the grassy knoll? Ron Paul??? Let us protect ourselves from Alien invasion. (illegal alien invasion that is–of course were the Roswell Aliens legal aliens or illegal aliens? and could they obtain a visa if they had talked to the Immigration department?). Thoughts to ponder….
I’d like to propose retiring the following two phrases as they have had a long and overused life:
1. “Drinking the Kool-Aid” - Next month it will have been 30 years since over 900 people died in “Jonestown” by drinking the infamous cyanide laced Kool-Aid. Give us all a well deserved break and use some creativity instead of falling back on old favorites like this one.
2. “Last time I checked…” - A very lazy way to start, or continue, an argument through comments on a weblog.
Only you can stop trite phrases! Thanks for your support.
Of course this story is fruity (mmmm, Tropical Punch). Why bother going through the hassle of suspending the Constitution when they can continue ignoring it’s existence?
Why ignore the Constitution when you can simply make it up as you go along?
According to the Kool-Aid FAQ,
http://faqs.cs.uu.nl/na-dir/food/kool-aid-faq.html
XX. What kind of Kool-Aid was consumed at Jonestown Guyana?
————————————————————–
It is a popular misconception that 900 followers of cult leader Jim
Jones committed suicide by drinking Grape Kool-Aid laced with cyanide
at their commune in Jonestown Guyana in the late 1970’s. This is not
true. The followers of Jones actually drank cyanide laced Flavor-aid,
a cheap imitation of Kool-Aid. The Flavor-aid flavor they consumed was
grape. Therefore, Kool-Aid played no part in this tragedy.
So after all his followers gave him, he couldn’t even get the name-brand grape drink?
Flavor-aid—what a rip off!
