Theyre Our Last Line of Defense

➡ A 77-year-old man wrote a postcard to the Florida chief financial officer, criticizing him for wasteful spending. Despite the message being protected by the First Amendment, law enforcement visited the man’s home, causing concern about freedom of speech. The incident has sparked debate about the role of law enforcement and government agencies, with some arguing that they are overstepping their boundaries and infringing on civil rights. The situation has led to calls for more accountability and respect for civil rights from law enforcement and government officials.
➡ The text discusses concerns about perceived threats to free speech, particularly on social media, and the role of influential figures in spreading information. It also mentions the challenges faced by individuals like Sheriff Mack, who feel their voices are being suppressed. The text further discusses the influence of organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the struggle for funding to support freedom of speech. Lastly, it emphasizes the importance of elected officials, like sheriffs, in upholding the Constitution and serving as a line of defense.

So, we followed this theme that I created today for your approval, which is basically freedom of speech, which is the primary, single most important thing that we have, without which you’re muzzled and no matter how much trouble you’re in or find, you can’t say a thing about it, so nothing can be done. So, I find this article from Raw Story, law experts appalled as cops swoop on a 77-year-old man for writing an innocuous postcard. Now, this one’s pretty close to as stupid as the last one we just looked at. I mean, the thing that was said is so ridiculously weak.

You would never even, in your imagination, assume that it was somehow a hate speech or deserved to be arrested. Well, a 77-year-old should be held accountable for what they’re saying. They’re already out of their mind with old age, you know? Right. But this guy’s just writing about something that has to do with some taxes he’s got to pay or whatever. He wrote a postcard, and I’m trying to figure out where, from looking at this article, where it went to. O’Gara77 had mailed a postcard to the Florida chief financial officer in response to the official’s comments about cracking down on wasteful spending made during a press conference in August.

Signed with his name, the postcard had a handwritten message, you lack values. That’s it? That’s it? You lack values? Yeah, you lack values. And so, and yet the First Amendment experts describe O’Gara’s postcard as in clear protection of the First Amendment. Law enforcement from the Criminal Division of the Florida Department of Financial Services ended up paying him a surprise visit on October 1st to ask him about the note. And then the gentleman there… That’s a none-ya. None-ya damn business. Exactly. He said that he finally figured out that they were there for simple intimidation. Somebody from the Florida Department of Financial Services said that he had not seen the postcard, nor was he the one who directed law enforcement to visit his house, the O’Gara’s house.

How does financial services have their own law enforcement? I guess. I don’t know. It’s kind of like in this country when we were seeing the Department of Health buying guns back in the Obama days. Over my presentation, I talk about the Department of Education getting SWAT teams. That’s documented in my presentation. Astonishing. And so, you know, anyone who looked at this said it would be different if it were a threat, but it’s clearly anything but. And the attorneys are saying, you know, there’s nothing involved here with freedom of speech. But what it does mean to me is that they’re setting a precedent for getting away with this.

I mean, it’s not that this is, you know, something that deserves any publicity for the fact of what he said, but for what happened and is something going to be done about it. What would be done about it, Sheriff Mack? How would we handle this situation? That’s what I was kind of thinking while I was watching all this. I wish we had people there locally that they could go and protest and put up the signs for both of these victims of government corruption. But also, more importantly, I want to walk into the local sheriff, the sheriff in Perry County.

Why have you put this man in your jail and you should have refused to accept him? And this is so absurd. And this is why we have our training and this is why we need the funding so that we can go do this in a big national conference. But we have so many of these fires to put out. We’re still really working hard to get our Washington state issue taken care of and all these other issues pop up. I’m going to call the Perry County sheriff and I’m going to call some of our good constitutional sheriffs in Florida and I’m going to ask them, what the hell is going on? What are we doing? And bragging about Florida being, you know, they’ve got a constitutional county project going there that’s going great guns.

And then they do something like this, you know, and obviously it’s not all the sheriffs backing this, but sheriffs should be speaking up and sheriffs should be lobbying to stop this sort of thing. And so I’m afraid too many of them are going to go, oh, well, it didn’t happen in my county. So, you know, well, you’re a member of the Florida Sheriff’s Association and you need to let them know it’s time to take some action. You know, if we’re just about having conferences and fundraisers, then why do we have all these meetings for sheriffs nationwide? And there’s a big another national one by the NSA, National Sheriff’s Association, that’s coming up at the end of January.

And, you know, I put in to be a speaker, but I don’t even know about that. You know, it’s so one sided and it’s just so unfair. And I just I can’t take sheriffs go into these meetings and it seems like it’s just all politics instead of principled and civil rights. Civil rights, civil, civil, civil rights. Yes, we need civility and we need cops to follow the law. And what bothers me about this in Florida, and I hope it’s not the case, but the problem is that Florida has been patting themselves on the back for a long time.

And mostly the government from the Santa’s down has been supportive, but do these people have the cajones to stand up against the same people that have been patting on the back the whole time now that there’s something that they really need to say? And so, you know, I guess we just watch this situation down there. But regardless, somebody, you know, Judge Grady, for example, you know, with this morning commentary would be ideal to say something about this situation is egregious. And you know that something like this can get out of hand. And we’ve seen place we’ve seen situations where police officers come to a house erroneously because somebody called them outside of the organization that they went to and they end up shooting someone inside.

You know, I’ve seen it with kids. They go in and they’ve got a kid in there that’s medicated wrong or whatever, and they end up killing them. And so, yeah, this one didn’t turn out that bad, but it’s a downhill slope. Now, in this particular theme that we have today, this is a rising situation in the United States. I mean, we’re we’re seeing with the ideas of anti-Semitism and a variety of other ways in which they rewrite the laws using the words like hate speech, which are labels that are supposed to separate good speech from bad speech in some way that we’re supposed to say, except as illegal speech.

But, you know, we have we have this social media thing now where it’s insane. We see we see and I’m talking about UK. I mean, they’ll come into your house at the middle of the night because you wrote that, you know, the government’s all a pack of liars and they’ll they’ll roll you out of bed and take you to jail. Nothing could be truer. Anyway, we see we’ve got we’ve got this clown and his state, you know, working the same angle. And obviously, this is a scythe. These guys are attempting to make you can’t call the next president United States a client.

OK, that’s not right there, buddy. Well, how about an idiot? I mean, just look at him anyway. Yeah. Yeah. We’re violating the Constitution. I’m getting away with it. That’s the thing. You know, nobody’s going to stop me. Ha ha. The only thing I can say is that, you know, a few years ago, just very short years ago, he looked like a young man. Well, he’s he’s getting the Obama treatment here. All of his hair is turning gray. But he’s doing the same thing that we see. He’s using social media as a way in which they can work their way.

And I call it baby step into Bolshevism into a situation where it’s OK with everybody to start claiming that if you post something on one of these social media is that they don’t like. Then somehow they can punish you. And so now they’re trying to punish social media platforms for aiding and abetting the First Amendment. And that’s a clever way to write it. But this bill currently awaiting his signature would impose meaningful consequences on social media platforms that allow users to publish hate speech, which is by definition something undefinable and only definable in every individual case, usually by the people making the charge.

Per a legislative analysis from the state’s Senate judiciary. Now, this the writer here reason says one problem is that this is America and most speech, no matter how hateful or offensive is protected by the First Amendment. What the California lawmakers are trying to do to get around this doesn’t punish companies for platforming potentially offensive speech. It merely makes them liable for aiding and abetting violations of civil rights law or conspiring to do so. The purpose of this act is not to regulate speech or viewpoint, but to clarify the social media platforms like other businesses may not knowingly use the systems to promote, facilitate, or contribute to the conduct that violates state civil rights, the bill states.

Now, of course, that’s not going to, you know, in any way interfere with the right to free speech. It’s clever how they can go to such great lengths to think up this sort of path around, you know, what we understand straight from the Constitution shall not be infringed or some similar language. And so, you know, here we are again. And again, they’ll be using something like Palantir and other technologies that monitor social media and then just simply send a letter to whoever’s in charge. We saw this, it’s all that. This is something terrible. You need to send people there, whatever it leads to.

And so anyway, this is just part and parcel to what I’m saying about the growing rise of the attack on free speech. And we know there’s no other way. If you’re going to take down a civilization, as they’re attempting to do here in the United States, they cannot permit people to speak about it freely and to bring it up like we’re bringing it up right now to a large group. And that’s why influencers are so dangerous. You know, they’ll come after an influencer. That’s why your material, Sheriff Mackett’s shadow band, and we could see that, you know, and you feel uncomfortable like, hey, I’m out there doing amazing things and nobody’s hearing about it.

Well, there’s a deliberate effort to prevent you from being able to be heard widely because you, you know, get in their way. That’s worse than what we really know. It’s gotten so out of hand. And all people have to do is if I’m coming into a certain place to give a presentation, all they have to do is look up Sheriff Richard Mack, or Sheriff Mack on the internet, and then just focus on all the bad stuff, the lies. And Southern Poverty Law Center knows, and ADL knows, if they put those lies out there, people can use them for eternity.

They are perpetual lies that others can quote. And the other book, The Extremism in Police, written by two professors back East for $75 for a 210 page book. And most of it’s just bibliography stuff of giving credit to other people who’ve lied about me. And CSPA. And so they know, they know they can get away with it. I’ve tried to get, especially Arizona State University journalism school, I tried to get them sued and I’m calling all these different law firms in Arizona and even some naturally. Oh, you can’t win, you know, you’ll lose your hundred thousand and you can’t win.

And then Trump, he wins all these lawsuits where people calling him names. I go, what is this? So, why a lawyer would turn down, taking a case that’s going to get them a lot of notoriety and look, none of them did I ever say, take it on a contingency basis, but there’s just too many wimps out there. They won’t get involved unless it’s a victory handed to them on a silver platter. So, I don’t get it. They work for the state. I mean, that’s another serious problem with our constitutional legal system, you know, the attorneys, et cetera, all function as representatives of the court.

And they follow, you know, court law and, you know, Can you see that also? Cash Patel said we’re no longer working with Southern Poverty Law Center. Yeah. Well, the property law center has been a consultant to the FBI for decades. And now finally, somebody says, oh, I guess we better not use them anymore. They’re a little bit leftist, extremist nuts, you know. Right. But they didn’t kick them out of all their offices, which are inside, you know, government offices, they’re inside the United Nations, you name it, wherever important stuff is happening. There they are, like a cancerous leech.

And so, nobody knows how to play the game better than SPLC. They know what to do. They have millions and millions of dollars. They have huge amounts of money, of cash in their bank accounts. They get all these big, huge donations, Lord knows from who and where, but they get a lot of it. But if we try to stand for freedom and combat that, you know, we get, you know, we get people get mad at us for always asking for money. Okay, give us a whole bunch and we won’t ask anymore. But to be honest with you, we spend too much time trying to keep funded.

And I just, I just pray and wish that it would just, that we could take that off our plate. But we have to keep going month to month, month to month. You know, we literally, you know, like you live paycheck to paycheck. That’s what CSPA is doing. We just go month to month with these donations. And most of the donations we get folks are just people who donate by becoming part of the posse. So when Jack asks you to become part of the posse, that’s totally what we’re pushing, because that’s really where we get the bulk of our funding.

And man, we sure need your help. Yeah, and it’s very, very inexpensive. I mean, at $11 a month, that’s maybe one and a half cup of cups of coffee, depending on where you get it. If you get it at Starbucks now and get a medium, it’s $5.99. So we’re talking a couple cups of coffee to support something that is one of the last ways in which we have any say at all. I mean, I could get emotional about it because it’s so important. There is nobody who’s going to stand up for you. Look at these county commissions that we have in most states.

Look at the school boards that we have in most states. These people have no interest whatsoever. They’ve been fed so much money from, they’ve been bought off so heavily. I mean, just during the COVID pandemic, you know, counties were sent. I mean, even the little county I’m from, they only had 30,000 people were sent $16 million by the US government, federal government, in order to continue the COVID lies and push vaccine mandates. And this went on for, I only looked at one month, this went on for the whole year of 2021. So, you know, these people were bought and paid for.

And we have no recourse. We only have one person that we elect. I mean, yeah, we do elect usually a county commissioner. But generally, there’s nobody running that even heard of the Constitution. So, you know, I don’t know how you pick them, but a sheriff at least has the word Constitution in his designation. He has to take an oath to it. And therefore, you know, that’s our last line of defense. [tr:trw].
