Historically, Tyrants Fear
Separatists
The Feds illegally raid Texas political meeting, seizing cell phones, fingerprinting,
and photographing all in attendance.

Not unlike
California’s State of Jefferson organization, Members of the Republic of Texas,
a secession movement dedicated to restoring Texas as an independent Constitutional
Republic, had gathered Feb. 14 in a Bryan, Texas, meeting hall along with
public onlookers. They were debating issues of currency, international
relations and celebrating the birthday of one of their oldest members. The
group, which describes itself as “congenial and unimposing,” maintains a small
working government, including official currency, congress and courts.
How long will it be my
friend, before the government becomes the enemy, or until one can no longer
tell them apart?
How long before
American Christians are considered to be ‘Separatists’ as the people later called
the pilgrims in England in the mid 1500’s?
Have we come full circle?
How long before what
we see happening in the Middle East becomes common place here on U.S. soil?
“We had no idea
what was going on,” said John
Jarnecke, president of the Republic of Texas. “We knew of nothing that would
warrant such an action.”
Information Liberation noted, “The
pretext of the raid was that two individuals from the group had reportedly sent
out ‘simulated court documents’ — summonses for a judge and a banker to appear
before the Republic of Texas to discuss the matter of a foreclosure. These
‘simulated documents’ were rejected and the authorities decided to react with a
‘show of force’ – 20 officers and an extremely broad search warrant.”
The invalid court
summons was signed by Susan Cammak, a Kerr County homeowner, and David Kroupa,
a Republic of Texas judge from Harris County.
The search warrant
against the Republic of Texas authorized the seizure of “all computers, media storage,
software, cell phones and paper documents.” Kerr County Sheriff Rusty
Hierholzer said the seized devices “will be downloaded and reviewed to
determine if others conspired in the creation and issuance of false court
documents.”
“You can’t just
let people go around filing false documents to judges trying to make them
appear in front of courts that aren’t even real courts,” Hierholzer, who led the operation, told the Houston Chronicle.
“The Republic has a lengthy list of qualms with the
federal government, among them that Texas was illegally annexed in 1845,” wrote the Houston Chronicle.
“But
most of their complaints have to do with the behavior of the American
legislature and executive. Robert Wilson, a senator in the Republic, equated
politicians in Washington, D.C., to the ‘kings and emperors’ of the past, and
sees Texas independence as part of a worldwide movement for local control.”
Hierholzer determined
a “show of force” consisting of officers from city, county state and federal
law enforcement to serve a search warrant for an alleged misdemeanor crime was
appropriate due to the potential for physical resistance by the group.
The Houston Chronicle
reports, “He said he had worries that some extremists in the group could become
violent, citing a 1997 incident when 300 state troopers surrounded an armed
Republic leader for a weeklong standoff.”
“Contrary to patently false reports by KBTX that the
Republic of Texas and its assemblage were a militia group,” states the Republic
of Texas website, “the
truth is that the Republic of Texas is a self-determined people attempting to
throw off the yoke of military occupation of Texas through peaceful and lawful
process.”
“We’ve had years
of bad press, but we’re not those people,” said Jarnecke of the 1997 incident. “But yes, we are still making
every attempt to get independence for Texas and we’re doing it in a lawful
international manner.”
No arrests were made,
and the case is still under investigation.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Is this a case of an illegal group involved in illegal
activities or is it reminiscent of the oppressed patriots of freedom from
before the declaration of independence.
Historically,
Separatists are a threat to tyranny.
Example the Separatists of England who later became known as the
pilgrims, came to North America seeking freedom from tyranny and became our
forefathers.
And the following, not
that I necessarily agree with their causes but all were peacefully wanting to
be left alone, but nevertheless murdered by the tyrannical fear of Separatism.
The Branch Davidians, a religious group in Waco
Texas a group led by David Koresh who were murdered by the FBI and the ATF
because they just wanted to be left alone and live separate from the rest of
society.
The Weaver family
nearly all murdered by the FBI on Ruby Ridge Idaho because they wanted to live
separate from the rest of the country.
The Jim Jones group
who moved to South America to be able to live their own lives, were followed by
an American collation of people including an American Congressman who was
killed in the fracas, and leading to the group committing suicide.
"A Free government is founded in jealousy, not confidence.
It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to
bind those we are obliged to trust with power... In questions of power, then, let no more be
heard of confidence in men, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of
the Constitution.” -- Thomas
Jefferson, 1799
“Either we must all hang
together, or separately we will be hanged”. Benjamin Franklin declared in the days
leading up to the Declaration of Independence.
Aren’t these people just trying to declare their
independence from tyranny? Haven’t we
just come full circle? If so, shouldn’t we just start all over again?
But where do we start?
Maybe at the beginning.
Now let’s see…In the beginning was God…
