STATEMENT BY KENNETH WHITE JUNE 9, 2009

TO NELSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

Mr. Chairman and members of the Board, my name is Kenneth White, 93 Shields Gap Road, Roseland, and I am President of the Virginia Taxpayers Association. Since your
May 12 Board meeting, Judge Michael Gamble of the 24th Judicial Circuit Court has written me saying he will do nothing about your violations of oath of office and suggesting that I try to speak with Commonwealth’s Attorney Phillip Payne if I want to persuade him to take some action.

Payne, however, phoned me June 4, 2009, telling me he was not going to send this matter to the Grand Jury, so it would not be possible for him to meet with me. He also said he would put this statement in a letter to me, but he never did.

Pretty neat, don’t you think? I’m finished and there is nothing I can do about this situation. Actually the fact is that I now have more ammunition than ever before in this contest you have chosen, and can again tell you as I have in the past, that VTA is able to inform more people every day what is really going on.

You may say, “Well, Mr. White, if you have so much support, how come we’re not seeing crowds of people at our meetings to back you up?” The answer to that is simple: Crowds of people turn out at Board meetings only on pocketbook issues or issuers affecting their immediate environment. But I can assure you that the support we are receiving on the major issues of freedom in our country and the safety of our citizens is tremendously heartwarming, and growing each day.

You have noticed recently that a federal appeals court judge nominated for the Supreme Court has received strong criticism from some quarters. So is a considerably lower state Judicial Circuit judge immune from any and all criticism?

The answer to that is absolutely NOT. Right now I am publicly charging that JUDGE MICHAEL GAMBLE and COMMONWEALTH’S ATTORNEY PHILLIP PAYNE are DELIBERATELY SUPPORTING U. S. GOVERNMENT VIOLATION OF THE POSSE COMITATUS ACT, AND ARE ALSO GUILTY OF MISPRISION, defined in part in Black’s Law Dictionary as (QUOTE) “failure in the duty of a citizen to ENDEAVOR to prevent the commission of a crime” (UNQUOTE). You also need to refer to the case Wryn v. United States, 200 F.Supp. 457 (1961), discussing fully the meaning of the Posse Comitatus Act, which was included in the overwhelming 178-page packet of documents I sent to the Grand Jury foreperson, that Payne did not even want to take a look at.

Do you really think you can play games with public opinion and that supervisors presumably elected to respond to constituents’ views can just keep mum on a vital subject whenever officials think making any kind of statement might be embarrassing to them? Is this representative government?

Are you so blind that you can pretend everything going on in Washington today with all the monumental scandals and power grabs there is completely lawful and has no effect whatsoever on the citizens of Nelson County so you can stay in a small hole where you can hear no evil and see no evil?

If so, you are participating in the deliberate destruction of this nation, and I am telling you again the informed citizens of Nelson County are NOT GOING TO TOLERATE IT.

That concludes my statement.

Bill in House Authorizes FEMA Camps In U.S.

Prison Planet.com
(Updated) April 22, 2009
Paul Joseph Watson

The National Emergency Centers Act or HR 645 introduced by Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., and cosponsored Apr. 22, 2009 by Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala., mandates the establishment of “national emergency centers” to be located on military installations for the purpose of providing “temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster,” according to the bill.

The legislation also states that the camps will be used to “provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of government, private, and not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations.”

Ominously, the bill also states that the camps can be used to “meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security,” an open ended mandate which many fear could mean THE FORCED DETENTION OF AMERICAN CITIZENS IN THE EVENT OF WIDESPREAD RIOTING AFTER A NATIONAL EMERGENCY OR TOTAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.

Many credible forecasters have predicted riots and rebellions in America that will dwarf those already witnessed in countries like Iceland and Greece.

A bill introduced in Congress authorizes the Department of Homeland Security to set up a network of FEMA camp facilities to be used to house U.S. citizens in the event of a national emergency.

WITH ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY PERSONNEL ALREADY BEING STATIONED INSIDE THE U.S. UNDER NORTHCOM, PARTLY FOR PURPOSES OF “CROWD CONTROL,” FEARS THAT AMERICANS COULD BE INCARCERATED IN DETAINMENT CAMPS ARE ALL TOO REAL.

The bill mandates that six separate facilities be established in different Federal Emergency Management Agency Regions (FEMA) throughout the country.

The camps will double up as “command and control” centers that will also house a “24/7 operations watch center” as well as training facilities for Federal, State, and local first responders.

The bill also contains language that will authorize camps to be established within closed or already operating military bases around the country.

As we have previously highlighted, in early 2006 Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root was awarded a $385 million dollar contract by Homeland Security to construct detention and processing facilities in the event of a national emergency.

The language of the preamble to the agreement veils the program with talk of temporary migrant holding centers, but it is made clear that the camps would also be used “as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency.”

As far back as 2002, FEMA sought bids from major real estate and engineering firms to construct giant internment facilities in the case of a chemical, biological or nuclear attack or a natural disaster.

A much discussed and circulated report, the PENTAGON’S CIVILIAN INMATE LABOR PROGRAM, WAS MORE RECENTLY UPDATED AND THE REVISION DETAILS A “TEMPLATE FOR DEVELOPING AGREEMENTS” BETWEEN THE ARMY AND CORRECTIONS FACILITIES FOR THE USE OF CIVILIAN INMATE LABOR ON ARMY INSTALLATIONS.”

Alex Jones has attended NUMEROUS MILITARY URBAN WARFARE TRAINING DRILLS ACROSS THE US WHERE ROLE PLAYERS WERE USED TO SIMULATE ARRESTING AMERICAN CITIZENS AND TAKING THEM TO INTERNMENT CAMPS.

(http://toolbar.aol.com/aolclassifieds/download.html?ncid=emlcntusdown00000004) NELSON COUNTY LIFE…I am forwarding this very critical and significant statement on a serious issue developing in your county. It is clear that some political elements within your county have no value in the inherent sovereignty of America, nor do they recognize that our Natural Rights must be preserved and, defended. If we permit our local political appointees and elected officials to violate the trust placed in them by ignoring the significance of these Rights, we fail as citizens to do our duty — which is to remonstrate and if necessary, remove these politicans from office.

In order to stop violations of the Posse Comitatus Act by the federal government in using military personnel inside this country for domestic law enforcement, we need to start at the local level with the grass roots exerting lots of pressure. You are doing a great job in this situation. Thank you.

That was a very constructive comment.

Do you favor the use of Military personnel for domestic police work inside the USA?

Sincerely,
Steve Martin

TO NELSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

Mr. Chairman and members of the Board, my name is Kenneth White, 93 Shields Gap Road, Roseland, and I am President of the Virginia Taxpayers Association. On April 23, 2009, the office of Phillip D. Payne IV, Commonwealth’s Attorney, Nelson County sent me an unsigned Memorandum stating in part:

(QUOTE) “There is no authority compelling a governing body to consider a resolution proposed by a citizen, regardless of the merits of the resolution. Consequently, filing, as Mr. White suggests he might, with either the Commonwealth’s Attorney or the Judge of the Circuit Court a copy of his affidavit will not initiate anything, and there is no authority for either the Commonwealth’s Attorney or the Judge to take any action.” (UNQUOTE)

Well of course there is no authority compelling your Board to consider anything I might say publicly to you on any subject. But let me say something right here. I am a chess player. In chess there is a term (QUOTE) “gaining a tempo” (UNQUOTE) meaning gaining a turn or gaining the initiative over one’s opponent. The fact is, in the game your Board has chosen to play with me, I have already “gained a tempo” by compelling your Board to do something you did not want to do, namely: Come out with what you hope is a fixed statement by your Board’s agent, the Commonwealth’s Attorney.

And now, responding to my request under the Freedom of Information Act (§ 2.2-3700 et seq.), Mr. Payne on May 7, 2009 has given me the name of the Foreman of the May, 2009 Nelson County Grand Jury. I will be writing him to offer information contained in my Affidavit “A” recorded in the Office of the Nelson County Circuit Court Clerk, formally charging members of this Board with violation of your oaths of office.

Since it is highly unlikely that, if my letter to him contains sufficient information, the Foreman would not allow me to testify at least briefly before the Grand Jury, I will have “gained another tempo” against your Board.

The fact is that you know use of Armed Forces personnel inside the United States for domestic law enforcement purposes, as is being done increasingly today (SEE ATTACHMENT TO THIS STATEMENT) is a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and the U. S. Constitution. I have talked at length face to face with both the Sheriff and the Clerk of Circuit Court about these violations and they share my views. So there is no way you can evade your lawful responsibility, as officials elected to represent the will of your constituents, to publicly object to this federal governmental lawbreaking, so that all of us and our children may live in peace, safety, and in harmony with the law.

So it’s obvious you are losing in this public contest, and I urge you to give up without more hopeless delay, and pass the January 13, 2009 Resolution before you, or a revised version that retains the same basic principles. Otherwise your standing with the public can only continue to suffer.

That concludes my Statement.

Military Police at the Kentucky Derby
Infowars
May 3, 2009

A Google News search does not produce a story or even a brief mention of the fact military police were on hand at the Kentucky Derby to keep restless plebs in line. However, an Associated Press photograph, posted on the Yahoo! News website, shows two MPs in combat fatigues with side arms restraining a man at the derby.

MPs

“Military police detain a fan who ran onto the track following the running of the 135th Kentucky Derby horse race at Churchill Downs Saturday, May 2, 2009, in Louisville, Ky.,” the photo caption reads.

The photo was also included in a slideshow on the Yahoo! Sports website, although the text of the article does not contain a mention of military police at the event.

“The military has NO BUSINESS policing the citizens except during extraordinarily exceptional times of national emergency by an executive order. This is very disturbing and completely un-American. Maybe even more disturbing is that no one seems to care how quietly and easily we have accepted the burgeoning police state,” an article comment states.

Infowars has reported on numerous instances of military involvement with local law enforcement in violation of Posse Comitatus. In March, we reported on U.S. Army troops dispatched to patrol the streets of Samson, Alabama, after a murder spree.

On April 6, we reported on a DHS, federal, state, Air Force, and local law enforcement checkpoint in Tennessee. On April 3, Infowars was instrumental in the cancellation of a seatbelt checkpoint that was to be conducted in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security and the 251st Military Police in Bolivar, Tennessee.

Last December, we reported on the Marine Corps Air and Ground Combat Center dispatching troops to work with police on checkpoints in in San Bernardino County, California.

On Aprill 22, we reported the deployment of 400 National Guard Combat Support Battalion troops to “maintain public order” at the Boston Marathon.

Last June, Infowars posted an article by D. H. Williams of the Daily Newscaster reporting the deployment of 2,300 Marines in the city of Indianapolis under the direction of FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.

Prison Planet’s Paul Joseph Watson reported a story on April 22 covering the assault of a local television news team by an irate police officer in El Paso, Texas. A video taken by the news videographer shows uniformed soldiers working with police officers at the scene of a car accident.

The presence of uniformed and armed military police at the Kentucky Derby is part of an ongoing campaign to acclimate the populace to the presence of soldiers at public events.

Insane Cop Arrests ABC News Reporter For Filming Traffic Accident
Some speculate authorities didn’t want involvement of troops in car wreck caught on camera
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Wednesday, April 22, 2009

It’s becoming a disturbingly familiar scene in America – aggressive, overbearing and mentally unstable cops who think that it is an arrestable offense not to obey their every order – harassing citizens who have done absolutely nothing wrong.

The latest example comes from El Paso, Texas, where a local ABC news reporter and his cameraman were arrested simply for something they routinely do every day as part of their job – filming traffic incidents.

The reporters, Darren Hunt and photojournalist Ric DuPont, were standing behind a barrier well away from the car wreck but were quickly approached by the cop – Sgt. Ramirez – who immediately shouted that they had to leave.

As the video shows, despite the fact that the reporters start to back away towards their truck, the cop runs after them after one of them dares to speak – reminding the officer that America is supposed to be a free country with freedom of the press and that the cameraman “can shoot if he wants to”.

The cop then grabs Hunt by his pants and threatens to arrest him, shouting, “I gave you an order,” with the reporter protesting, “I didn’t do anything.”

Presumably, the cop thinks that it is illegal and therefore an arrestable offense not to follow any order given by a police officer – or even worse – because the reporters were actually following his order – the cop thinks its an arrestable offense merely to verbally disagree with a police officer.

Despite the reporter not resisting or attempting to return to the scene of the wreck, the cop tries to slap the cuffs on anyway. “I’m not doing anything, I’m just trying to leave sir,” states Hunt as the cop wildly shrieks behind him and pulls his arms behind his back.

The officer then pushes Hunt up against the fence and turns to grab DuPont’s camera, before he too is arrested. With the two reporters now out of view, more insane shrieking can be heard from the cop.

Upon arrival at the police station, the reporters were released within minutes – proving that they had done absolutely nothing worthy of being arrested in the first place. Sgt. Ramirez has been placed on leave pending an investigation.

Some have speculated that the presence of military soldiers at the scene of the car wreck, which is captured on film near the end of the clip, was something that the authorities did not want to be documented on camera.

As we have previously warned, thousands of active duty military personnel are being brought back from Iraq and Afghanistan to conduct “homeland patrols” under Northcom. The Army Times reported that their duties would include training to “use jaws of life to extract a person from a mangled vehicle,” as well as ”civil unrest and crowd control.”

We have been ringing the alarm bell for years about the integration of the military into law enforcement and have consistently warned that the idea of troops on the streets as a matter of routine will be incrementally introduced to Americans by means of soldiers being used in traffic accidents. This would engender the idea that the troops are here to “help” in times of need.

However, the troops may have just been traveling to or from their army base and happened to come across the accident and offer assistance, which is perfectly plausible.

The major thing to take away from watching this video is the insane behavior of the cop and his belief that citizens must comply with his every order or face arrest, despite them having done nothing wrong whatsoever.

These scenes are becoming commonplace in America. Something has gone seriously wrong somewhere along the line with police training, a fact highlighted by the recent MIAC and Homeland Security reports, which revealed that police are being trained that American citizens who are merely knowledgeaéble about their rights under the U.S. constitution are considered a threat and potential terrorists.
