Is today the day?
I just received an email from Make The Stand, the support group site for Edward and Elaine Brown. It says:
Dear MakeTheStand.com Users,
It’s happening again!!! Neighbors have evacuated the area again. There are many men in the woods in gilly suits and other camouflage. We have completely lost contact with the browns.
WE NEED PEOPLE TO GO THERE NOW!!! DON’T BE AFRAID — YOU WILL NOT BE SHOT. WE NEED PEOPLE WHO KNOW ED AND ELAINE TO GET ON THEIR PROPERTY, REACH THE HOUSE, AND STAY WITH THEM TO PROTECT THEM. THE FEDS CANNOT GO AND DO THIS WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE AROUND. THEY CAN ONLY DO IT WHEN ED AND ELAINE ARE ALONE OR ALMOST ALONE!!!
THIS IS SERIOUS — GO NOW IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA. Matt from infowars.com is on the radio right now saying we need to get out there. PLEASE help save the lives of Ed and Elaine!!!!!
The site describes conditions as:
–Power out
–Agents in woods
–Neighbors evacuated
–Communications shut down and jammed
–Feds have said they will shut down roads again
And offers these words of inspiration:
“They tell us, sir, that we are weak — unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of the means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.
The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable — and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, “Peace! Peace!” — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, GIVE ME LIBERTY, OR GIVE ME DEATH!”
– Patrick Henry March 23, 1775
To Ed and Elaine, I’m worried for you. To the government folk who lurk around this site, I hope you don’t make this a violent occasion. Allow the Browns their constitutionally protected day in court. Allow them to submit their evidence to the jury as demanded by our constitution. Do you really have to prove your position with SWAT units and snipers, or is it the only way you can?
Interesting take on the Brown case here.

Update: From Info Wars:
UPDATE: 2pm CST – Matt Kazee has now managed to get in touch with Elaine Brown who told him that she had received a call from federal marshall Gary Dimartino who has admitted that the authorities are coming in at some point but “not to kill” the Browns.


Brad Spangler covers it quite well in http://www.bradspangler.com/blog/archives/676
(which, incidentally, explains quite well both what is right and what is wrong in the Browns’ approach).
Ron Paul could probably help his campaign in NH with the coverage that could result if he helps resolve this peacefully.
At the heart of the issue is due process. It doesn’t matter whether or not Ed and Elaine had the right argument. It matters that they were unable to present it to a jury of their peers.
They didn’t hesitate to brutally murder hundreds in Waco… I am not so sure they wouldn’t murder whoever gets in their way here either.
I’ve got a friend in Louisville whose day may be coming as well. She and some friends are thinking about going to the mattresses over an eminent domain issue.
Got a note from her Monday….
A human chain with shotguns. Yes. It sends a loud message, like DON’T TREAD ON ME.
Damn the consequences. It’s worked before. Wish us luck.
You should have an “about” section, would like to know more about the author?
