American Militia Leader Speaks to The US Senate

Militias are starting to crop up more and more. I say God Bless this man! This man has great courage to me. I hope many of you watch this and feel the same way...Some Americans are starting to speak out yet I feel it will do no good as they are telling this to the very people who are the criminals and lying leaders that don't care about us.If you ask me..this is basically giving our government a warning.

Part 2


Part 3

These are the pockets that have yet to be subdued. Is this why Obama is apparently trying to create a homeland army?

good find

Great Post! I agree wholeheartedly with this guy. As I said in my post earlier, there are many people in this country who don't care what the govt. does to them, but those who do are eventually gonna be fed up and fight for the us constitution. I for one have had it with the corruption in this country.

I'm going to post a great quote from a great movie, and I see our great country coming to what this quote says. I rephrased it

" Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security, the familiar, the tranquility, repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.

There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the annunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance, and depression. And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillence coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myraid of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence.

Last night I destroyed the old bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot."

Yea...I happened to come across this by accident. It is dated from October...yet I don't remember hearing anything about this in any of the news organizations....Wonder why?(not really). I hope they were taking this seriously...because we may be approaching a breaking point before too long.

That guys probably on a list somewhere. lol.
It's a good thing that he doesn't care.

Not that I necessarily agree with him, but I heard a very mainstream right wing/conservative talking about this on the radio Friday night. He was getting angry about the so called 'youth brigades', and said that in response conservatives need to form 'well regulated militias'. He was calling on his listeners to buy as many guns and ammo as possible before, as he said, Obama outlaws them all.

Personally I think it would be better without either youth brigades or militias.

I may have missed something but It strikes me that he does care. Being on a list somewhere is one of the things we all should be concerned about. There aren't many folks that would have the balls to speak to those clowns as he did. I'm on his side. Just bought 15 more 20 round magazines from Ruger for the Mini-14. His response to Boxers question was cutting and profound.

Yes. This is also the reason why they passed the "Homegrown Terrorists Act" in 2007. I realized this awhile ago when I saw some articles about the friendly local gov'ts in some states passing out fliers on "how to recognize a terrorist." Some of the "signs" include wearing Levi jeans, drinking beer, having a driver's license, being opposed to eminent domain ("Property Rights Activists"), and/or calling themselves "patriots."

Interestingly, something that nobody seemed to pick up on was found in Sarah Palin's notorious "Pro-America" quote, when she referred to people "in small towns" as "patriotic" then immediately corrected herself, stuttering, "um, very, um, pro-America..":

"We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. ... We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation." --Sarah Palin, speaking at a fundraiser in Greensoboro, N.C., Oct. 16, 2008
[#2 from "Top 10 Dumbest Sarah Palin Quotes"; politicalhumor.about.com...]

To me, that's a heads-up that people who identify themselves as "patriots", such as these people in the militia movements, are being targeted as "homegrown terrorists." Along with everyone else who doesn't like the way the country is headed.

I was not a Jew.

And when they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out."

Awesome find. "It's not about guns and skin color, it's about liberty." Great line I loved it. I didn't realize there was a resurgence in the militia movement. I'm glad to see there is, who protects us from our government? The people and their guns (if we get to keep them). Every time I go to the range you hear stuff like this, people are getting justifiably mad. I also have noticed a huge upswing in the number of minority groups that are buying guns, and I for one am glad to see them enjoying a new sport/hobby. It makes it more interesting when you don't just have a bunch of old white guys standing around!

Hey guys, this has already been posted some time ago, I tried in vain to search for it but couldn't find it. I think the thread became fairly extensive. If anyone can find it, please link.

Great videos tho!

As pointed out by king9072, does anyone know when this was recorded?

Mr. Johnson's absolute resolve not to be intimidated or talked over was outstanding. Thanks to the OP for posting.

[edit on 11/11/08 by surfinguru]

I did a search for it before I posted it to make sure it was not already posted.It came back with nothing so I went ahead and posted it for everyone. Well....I would not think it is older than a year perhaps as Thompson pointed out in the video about the elections.

This video is from 1995. I'm certain it has been posted here before but I cannot find the thread. here is another link for it.

Even though it is old, I still believe it has merit.

It's fascinating, I just want to thank the OP.

That's good stuff.

Much respect to this man.


With that said, I don't see what it matters when it was recorded, or posted first. There is no more relevant time than now for people to listen to this man. Regardless if this makes you want to buy a gun, or use words instead, we all need to take from this man is that people need to stand up. I'm not saying incite anything, just speak out, let people know whats going on around them, rather than talk about the last episode of Survivor.

This spokesperson is an American patriot and is a spokesperson for Joe-Sixpack

I love the camo-dude next to him.

Thompson wants to know "what do you have a problem with"

Was he asleep during the battle cry! Is Thompson that far removed from main street that he cannot recognize how the patriot act has trampled upon the Constitution for ordinary citizens.

Is it me or did Mr. Thompson sound extremely condescending?

He was pissing me off, actually . . . because I thought he was a good guy.

Good videos there!

Is it just me.. Or is showing up in front of Congress in a really bad fitting set of fatigues from an army surplus store and then complaining you're not being taken seriously demonstrate a complete lack of common sense?

LOL Militia

Hahahahah.. take it from an ex Army Ranger.. these guys are so old and fat they would last about 8 minutes on the battlefield

But at least he is out there voicing his opinion.

More than I can say for you and I. So who are we to judge. Our taxes arent going to pay for his uniform. Some people have to make do.

These must be extremely popular videos or something because It is taking me forever to watch and download these short clips..

Part 3 is only 2:32 and after 5 minutes of loading it's only at 75 percent. Usually it is much faster than that with my broadband cable.

Anyway, very interesting video. I couldn't help Dianne Feinstein trying to make these guys look like idiotic terrorists willing to take the law into their own hands. That's pretty sad. And its funny how she went that route after such a very common sense, straightforward, meaningful speech from James Johnson. I could practically hear those politicians shaking in their boots.. And from the body language they are giving off, they absolutely DO NOT like to hear about this kind of thing.

I think the fact that he was cut off at the end is another way of the politicians saying "We don't want to hear this right now". WOW!
