(Editor's Note- This article contains some questionable assertions but I present it for your consideration and comment anyway because I respect the author. My reactions are in square brackets.)


There are many levels of subterfuge. George Soros and Rahm Emanuel, both internationalist Jews, are scripting Obama. Very few at this time realize the intent. Obama is given a worldwide Muslim image. Internationalist Jewish media publicized Obamamania as they did Beatlemania. Why?

The reasons center on the raising of the Third Temple in Jerusalem and the matter of Israel's demographic war. In the first case, the Temple is only 18 minutes away from being raised above ground. This is done through computerized hydraulics. While at the Dead Sea, this was mentioned to Eric Zieber who held a discussion with a retired IDF general. The general revealed that since 1990, a tunnel from the Dead Sea to beneath the Temple Mount, allowed workers to eventually perform this technological feat. [I can't believe this.This tunnel would have to be 30 miles long.]

The play is as plain as day.

In the 1980s, eschatologists generally held the view that it would be at least 15 years to the raising of the Temple, once work had begun on it. Years later, through remarkable technological advancements, the estimate was realistically lowered to six years from its inception. But now we see it will take only 18 minutes to raise through computer hydraulics. [I don't believe it.] There is just one prerequisite for Israel to do so...

DEMOGRAPHICS


That is, under the present Muslim demographics in Israel, it would be instant genocide for Jews living in the Holy Land to do this. So at least two million have to be transported into the United States of America -

through US taxpayer money - and Canada. The international Jewish media earlier publicized this was a "Jesuit" plan; but now Obama with his well-known Islamic leanings can take the credit for this demographic move. [Is there any evidence that Muslims immigrants to the US come from the West Bank and Gaza?]

Once accomplished, the Temple will then be raised with ineffective resistance from the Islamic world...

(Hydraulics are nothing new. As Michael Rood reveals in an excellent presentation on the Book of Chronicles in the Old Testament, the ark of the covenant was hydraulically lowered from the Holy of Holies to slide to just beneath Calvary.

Years later, when Christ was crucified, the ground was opened and His Blood spilled onto the right side, reserved for Him. In the 1980s, the ark was found 65 feet beneath Calvary. Unable to be brought up -

nine rabbis died in nine separate attempts - a blood sample was taken from the right side, the DNA revealing in a Tel Aviv lab, that there was an earthly mother but no earthly father.) [No comment.]

Another reason Jews want Muslims in North America: The current demographic rate in Israel for the Islamic people are 8 births to every one death, while Israel's is one-to-one. This alone allows the Muslims to win the demographic war by 2020. So internationalist Jewry feels the need to relocate Muslims somewhere else and the taxpayers of the United States of America have the money to move them. [Again, where is the evidence?]

Too, with the goal of Humanist Manifesto II to follow up on Club of Rome findings (that the earth's natural and mineral resources cannot support more than 2.5 billion and that's what the Beast computer in Brussels is configured for, revealed by a former El Al computer whiz who was invited to work on it in Brussels) the present 6.7 billion world population can be significantly reduced, in their eyes, through North American Christian and Muslim conflict.

WHY RAISE THE TEMPLE?

What is wrong with the Temple raised above ground? In the New Testament, when the Temple curtain was torn from top to bottom, it signaled the New Testament in the sense that now every individual believer in Christ was a "Temple of the Holy Spirit."

The physical Temple in Jerusalem was relegated to the Old Testament. When it is raised again, internationalist Jewry basically sees it as a symbolic unifier for the reformed, conservative, New Age and secular Jews, a cultural element for their naturalist perspective.

(The two prophets will supernaturally oppose this naturalist perspective before and after they are raised from the dead.) And when we read Paul Blanshard's Communism, Democracy and Catholic Power, we see from Chapter IV, "Devices of Deification, " that the world leader to sit in this temple is deified for political purposes, as several predecessors were in the 20th century.

The world view of the Third Temple will be that of Unitarian-coordinat ing Interfaith and of the Baha'i temples, such as those in Chicago and Haifa. One can picture nights when Chicago socialists Rahm Emanuel and Obama walked passed the Wilmette Baha'i temple, contemplating the dark success of the future Temple in Israel...

The Shot Heard 'Round The World
The American Revolution begins as fighting breaks out at Lexington, Massachusetts.

April 19, 1775

The battles of Lexington and Concord were the first military engagements of the American Revolutionary War. They were fought on April 19, 1775, in Middlesex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay, within the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Menotomy (present-day Arlington), and Cambridge, near Boston. The battles marked the outbreak of open armed conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in the mainland of British North America.

About 700 British Army regulars, under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, were given secret orders to capture and destroy military supplies that were reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia at Concord. Through effective intelligence gathering, Patriot colonials had received word weeks before the expedition that their supplies might be at risk, and had moved most of them to other locations. They also received details about British plans on the night before the battle, and were able to rapidly notify the area militias of the military movement.

The first shots were fired just as the sun was rising at Lexington. The militia were outnumbered and fell back, and the regulars proceeded on to Concord, where they searched for the supplies. At the North Bridge in Concord, several hundred militiamen fought and defeated three companies of the King's troops. The outnumbered regulars fell back from the Minutemen after a pitched battle in open territory.

More militiamen arrived soon thereafter and inflicted heavy damage on the regulars as they marched back towards Boston. Upon returning to Lexington, Smith's expedition was rescued by reinforcements under Lieutenant-General Hugh Percy. The combined force, now of about 1,700 men, marched back to Boston under heavy fire in a tactical withdrawal and eventually reached the safety of Charlestown. The accumulated militias blockaded the narrow land accesses to Charlestown and Boston, starting the Siege of Boston.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his "Concord Hymn", described the first shot fired by the Patriots at the North Bridge as the "shot heard 'round the world," even though it was not the first shot of the war.

Background

The British Army's infantry, nicknamed "redcoats" and sometimes "devils" by the colonists, had occupied Boston since 1768 and had been augmented by naval forces and marines to enforce the Intolerable Acts, which had been passed by the British Parliament to punish the Province of Massachusetts Bay for the Boston Tea Party and other acts of protest. General Thomas Gage, the military governor of Massachusetts and commander-in-chief of the roughly 3000 British military forces in Boston, had no control over Massachusetts outside of Boston, where implementation of the Acts had increased tensions between the Patriot (Whig) majority and the Loyalist (Tory) minority. Gage's plan was to avoid conflict by removing military supplies from the Whig militias using small, secret and rapid strikes. This struggle for supplies led to one British success and then to several Patriot successes in a series of nearly bloodless conflicts known as the Powder Alarms. Gage considered himself to be a friend of liberty and attempted to separate his duties as Governor of the colony and as General of an occupying force. Edmund Burke described Gage's conflicted relationship with Massachusetts by saying in Parliament, "An Englishman is the unfittest person on Earth to argue another Englishman into slavery."

The colonists had been forming militias of various sorts since the 17th century, at first primarily for defense against local native attacks. These forces were also called to action in the French and Indian War in the 1750s and 1760s. They were generally local militias, nominally under the jurisdiction of the provincial government. When the political situation began to deteriorate, in particular when Gage effectively dissolved the Provincial government under the terms of the Massachusetts Government Act, these existing connections were put to use by the colonists under the Massachusetts Provincial Congress for the purpose of resistance to the perceived military threat.

These battles are generally described as the opening battles of the American Revolutionary War.

Dartmouth's instructions and Gage's orders

On April 14, 1775, Gage received instructions from Secretary of State William Legge, the Earl of Dartmouth to disarm the rebels, who were known to have hidden weapons in Concord, and to imprison the rebellion's leaders, especially Samuel Adams and John Hancock. Dartmouth gave Gage considerable discretion in his commands.

On the morning of April 18, Gage ordered a mounted patrol of about 20 men under the command of Major Mitchell of the 5th Regiment of Foot into the surrounding country to intercept messengers who might be out on horseback. This patrol behaved differently from patrols sent out from Boston in the past, staying out after dark and asking travelers about the location of Adams and Hancock. This had the unintended effect of alarming many residents and increasing their preparedness. The Lexington militia in particular began to muster early that evening, hours before receiving any word from Boston. A well known story alleges that after nightfall one farmer, Josiah Nelson, mistook the British patrol for the colonists and asked them, "Have you heard anything about when the regulars are coming out?", upon which he was slashed on his scalp with a sword. However, the story of this incident was not published until over a century later, which suggests that it may be little more than a family myth.

Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith received orders from Gage on the afternoon of April 18 with instructions that he was not to read them until his troops were underway. He was to proceed from Boston "with utmost expedition and secrecy to Concord, where you will seize and destroy... all Military stores... But you will take care that the soldiers do not plunder the inhabitants or hurt private property." Gage used his discretion and did not issue written orders for the arrest of rebel leaders, as he feared doing so might spark an uprising.

Successful Colonial intelligence

The rebellion's ringleaders—with the exception of Paul Revere and Joseph Warren—had all left Boston by April 8. They had received word of Dartmouth's secret instructions to General Gage from sources in London well before they reached Gage himself. Adams and Hancock had fled Boston to the home of one of Hancock's relatives in Lexington, where they thought they would be safe from the immediate threat of arrest.

The Massachusetts militias had indeed been gathering a stock of weapons, powder, and supplies at Concord, as well as an even greater amount much further west in Worcester, but word reached the rebel leaders that British officers had been observed examining the roads to Concord. On April 8, Paul Revere rode to Concord to warn the inhabitants that the British appeared to be planning an expedition. The townspeople decided to remove the stores and distribute them among other towns nearby.

The colonists were also aware of the upcoming mission on April 19, despite it having been hidden from all the British rank and file and even from all the officers on the mission. There is reasonable speculation, although not proven, that the confidential source of this intelligence was Margaret Gage, General Gage's New Jersey-born wife, who had sympathies with the Colonial cause and a friendly relationship with Warren.

Between 9:00 and 10:00 pm on the night of April 18, 1775, Joseph Warren told William Dawes and Paul Revere that the King's troops were about to embark in boats from Boston bound for Cambridge and the road to Lexington and Concord. Warren's intelligence suggested that the most likely objectives of the regulars' movements later that night would be the capture of Adams and Hancock. They did not worry about the possibility of regulars marching to Concord, since the supplies at Concord were safe, but they did think their leaders in Lexington were unaware of the potential danger that night. Revere and Dawes were sent out to warn them and to alert colonial militias in nearby towns.

Militia warned

Dawes covered the southern land route by horseback across Boston Neck and over the Great Bridge to Lexington. Revere first gave instructions to send a signal to Charlestown and then he traveled the northern water route. He crossed the Charles River by rowboat, slipping past the British warship HMS Somerset at anchor. Crossings were banned at that hour, but Revere safely landed in Charlestown and rode to Lexington, avoiding a British patrol and later warning almost every house along the route. The warned men and the Charlestown colonists dispatched additional riders to the north.

After they arrived in Lexington, Revere, Dawes, Hancock, and Adams discussed the situation with the militia assembling there. They believed that the forces leaving the city were too large for the sole task of arresting two men and that Concord was the main target. The Lexington men dispatched riders to the surrounding towns, and Revere and Dawes continued along the road to Concord accompanied by Samuel Prescott. In Lincoln, they ran into the British patrol led by Major Mitchell. Revere was captured, Dawes was thrown from his horse, and only Prescott escaped to reach Concord. Additional riders were sent out from Concord.

The ride of Revere, Dawes, and Prescott triggered a flexible system of "alarm and muster" that had been carefully developed months before, in reaction to the colonists' impotent response to the Powder Alarm. This system was an improved version of an old network of widespread notification and fast deployment of local militia forces in times of emergency. The colonists had periodically used this system all the way back to the early years of Indian wars in the colony, before it fell into disuse in the French and Indian War. In addition to other express riders delivering messages, bells, drums, alarm guns, bonfires and a trumpet were used for rapid communication from town to town, notifying the rebels in dozens of eastern Massachusetts villages that they should muster their militias because the regulars in numbers greater than 500 were leaving Boston, with possible hostile intentions. This system was so effective that people in towns 25 miles (40 km) from Boston were aware of the army's movements while they were still unloading boats in Cambridge. These early warnings played a crucial role in assembling a sufficient number of colonial militia to inflict heavy damage on the British regulars later in the day. Adams and Hancock were eventually moved to safety, first to what is now Burlington and later to Billerica.

British Army and Marines move out

Around dusk, General Gage called a meeting of his senior officers at the Province House. He informed them that orders from Lord Dartmouth had arrived, ordering him to take action against the colonials. He also told them that the senior colonel of his regiments, Lieutenant Colonel Smith, would command, with Major John Pitcairn as his executive officer. The meeting adjourned around 8:30 pm, after which Lord Percy mingled with town folk on Boston Common. According to one account, the discussion among people there turned to the unusual movement of the British soldiers in the town. When Percy questioned one man further, the man replied, "Well, the regulars will miss their aim". "What aim?" asked Percy. "Why, the cannon at Concord" was the reply. Upon hearing this, Percy quickly returned to Province House and relayed this information to General Gage. Stunned, Gage issued orders to prevent messengers from getting out of Boston, but these were too late to prevent Dawes and Revere from leaving.

The British regulars, around 700 infantry, were drawn from 11 of Gage's 13 occupying infantry regiments. For this expedition, Major John Pitcairn commanded 10 elite light infantry companies, and Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Bernard commanded 11 grenadier (specialized assault) companies, under the overall command of Lieutenant Colonel Smith.

Of the troops assigned to the expedition, 350 were from grenadier companies drawn from the 4th (King's Own), 5th, 10th, 18th (Royal Irish), 23rd, 38th, 43rd, 47th, 52nd and 59th Regiments of Foot, and the 1st Battalion of His Majesty's Marine Forces. Protecting the grenadier companies were about 320 light infantry from the 4th (King's Own), 5th, 10th, 23rd, 38th, 43rd, 47th, 52nd and 59th Regiments of Foot, and the 1st Battalion of the Marines. Each company had its own lieutenant, but the majority of the captains commanding them were volunteers attached to them at the last minute, drawn from all of the regiments stationed in Boston. This lack of bond between commander and company would turn out to be problematic.

The British began to awaken their troops at 9 pm on the night of April 18 and assembled them on the water's edge on the western end of Boston Common by 10 pm. The British march to and from Concord was a disorganized experience from start to finish. Colonel Smith was late in arriving, and there was no organized boat-loading operation, resulting in confusion at the staging area. The boats used were naval barges that were packed so tightly that there was no room to sit down. When they disembarked at Phipps Farm in Cambridge, it was into waist-deep water at midnight. After a lengthy halt to unload their gear, the regulars began their 17 miles (27 km) march to Concord at about 2 am. During the wait they were provided with extra ammunition, cold salt pork, and hard sea biscuits. They did not carry knapsacks, since they would not be encamped. They carried their haversacks (food bags), canteens, muskets, and accoutrements, and marched off in wet, muddy shoes and soggy uniforms. As they marched through Menotomy, sounds of the colonial alarms throughout the countryside caused the few officers who were aware of their mission to realize they had lost the element of surprise. One of the regulars recorded in his journal,

“We got all over the bay and landed on the opposite shore betwixt twelve and one OClock and was on our March by one, which was at first through some swamps and slips of the Sea till we got into the Road leading to Lexington soon after which the Country people begun to fire their alarm guns light their Beacons, to raise the Country. ... To the best of my recollection about 4 oClock in the morning being the 19th of April the 5 front Compys. was ordered to Load which we did.”

At about 3 am, Colonel Smith sent Major Pitcairn ahead with six companies of light infantry under orders to quick march to Concord. At about 4 am he made the wise but belated decision to send a messenger back to Boston asking for reinforcements.

Battles

Lexington

"What a glorious morning this is!"
~ Samuel Adams

(to John Hancock at the Battle of Lexington, Massachusetts, 19 April 1775)

As the regulars' advance guard under Pitcairn entered Lexington at sunrise on April 19, 1775, 77 Lexington militiamen emerged from Buckman Tavern and stood in ranks on the village common watching them, and between 40 and 100 spectators watched from along the side of the road. Their leader was Captain John Parker, a veteran of the French and Indian War, who was suffering from tuberculosis and was at times difficult to hear. Of the militiamen who lined up, nine had the surname Harrington, seven Munroe, four Parker, three Tidd, three Locke, and three Reed; fully one quarter of them were related to Captain Parker in some way. This group of militiamen was part of Lexington's "training band", a way of organizing local militias dating back to the Puritans, and not what was styled a minuteman company. Captain Parker was clearly aware that he was outmatched in the confrontation and was not prepared to risk his forces. Parker was later supposed to have made a statement that is now engraved in stone at the site of the battle: "Stand your ground; don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here." According to his sworn deposition taken after the battle:

“I ... ordered our Militia to meet on the Common in said Lexington to consult what to do, and concluded not to be discovered, nor meddle or make with said Regular Troops (if they should approach) unless they should insult or molest us; and, upon their sudden Approach, I immediately ordered our Militia to disperse, and not to fire:—Immediately said Troops made their appearance and rushed furiously, fired upon, and killed eight of our Party without receiving any Provocation therefor from us.”

~ John Parker

Rather than turn left towards Concord, Marine Lieutenant Jesse Adair, who was at the head of the advance guard, decided on his own to protect the flank of the troops by first turning right and then leading the companies down the common itself in a confused effort to surround and disarm the militia. These men ran towards the Lexington militia loudly crying "Huzzah!" to rouse themselves and to confuse the militia, as they formed a battle line on the common. Major Pitcairn arrived from the rear of the advance force and led his three companies to the left and halted them. The remaining companies under Colonel Smith lay further down the road toward Boston.

First shot

A British officer, probably Pitcairn, but accounts are uncertain, as it may also have been Lieutenant William Sutherland, then rode forward, waving his sword, and called out for the assembled throng to disperse, and may also have ordered them to "lay down your arms, you damned rebels!" Captain Parker told his men instead to disperse and go home, but, because of the confusion, the yelling all around, and due to the raspiness of Parker's tubercular voice, some did not hear him, some left very slowly, and none laid down their arms. Both Parker and Pitcairn ordered their men to hold fire, but a shot was fired from an unknown source.

”[A]t 5 o’clock we arrived [in Lexington], and saw a number of people, I believe between 200 and 300, formed in a common in the middle of town; we still continued advancing, keeping prepared against an attack through without intending to attack them; but on our coming near them they fired on us two shots, upon which our men without any orders, rushed upon them, fired and put them to flight; several of them were killed, we could not tell how many, because they were behind walls and into the woods. We had a man of the 10th light Infantry wounded, nobody else was hurt. We then formed on the Common, but with some difficulty, the men were so wild they could hear no orders; we waited a considerable time there, and at length proceeded our way to Concord.”

~ Lieutenant John Barker, 4th Regiment of Foot

Some witnesses among the regulars reported the first shot was fired by a colonial onlooker from behind a hedge or around the corner of a tavern. Some observers reported a mounted British officer firing first. Both sides generally agreed that the initial shot did not come from the men on the ground immediately facing each other. Speculation arose later in Lexington that a man named Solomon Brown fired the first shot from inside the tavern or from behind a wall, but this has been discredited. Some witnesses (on each side) claimed that someone on the other side fired first; however, many more witnesses claimed to not know. Fischer has recently proposed that there may actually have been multiple near-simultaneous shots.

Nobody knew then, nor knows today with any significant certainty, who fired the first shot of the American Revolution.

Witnesses at the scene described several intermittent shots fired from both sides before the lines of regulars began to fire volleys without receiving orders to do so. A few of the militiamen believed at first that the regulars were only firing powder with no ball, but when they realized the truth, few if any of the militia managed to load and return fire. The rest wisely ran for their lives.

“We Nathaniel Mulliken, Philip Russell, [and 32 other men ...] do testify and declare, that on the nineteenth in the morning, being informed that... a body of regulars were marching from Boston towards Concord. ... About five o’clock in the morning, hearing our drum beat, we proceeded towards the parade, and soon found that a large body of troops were marching towards us, some of our company were coming to the parade, and others had reached it, at which time, the company began to disperse, whilst our backs were turned on the troops, we were fired on by them, and a number of our men were instantly killed and wounded, not a gun was fired by any person in our company on the regulars to our knowledge before they fired on us, and continued firing until we had all made our escape.”

The regulars then charged forward with bayonets. Captain Parker's cousin Jonas was run through. Eight Massachusetts men were killed and ten were wounded; only one British soldier of the 10th Foot wounded. The eight colonists killed were John Brown, Samuel Hadley, Caleb Harrington, Jonathon Harrington, Robert Munroe, Isaac Muzzey, Asahel Porter, and Jonas Parker. Jonathon Harrington, fatally wounded by a British musket ball, managed to crawl back to his home, and died on his own doorstep. One wounded man, Prince Estabrook, was a black slave who was serving in the militia.

The companies under Pitcairn's command got beyond their officers' control in part because they were unaware of the actual purpose of the day's mission. They fired in different directions and prepared to enter private homes. Colonel Smith, who was just arriving with the remainder of the regulars, heard the musket fire and rode forward from the grenadier column to see the action. He quickly found a drummer and ordered him to beat assembly. The grenadiers arrived shortly thereafter, and once order was restored the light infantry were permitted to fire a victory volley, after which the column was reformed and marched on toward Concord.

The militiamen of Concord and Lincoln, in response to the raised alarm, had mustered in Concord. They received reports of firing at Lexington, and were not sure whether to wait until they could be reinforced by troops from towns nearby, or to stay and defend the town, or to move east and greet the British Army from superior terrain. A column of militia marched down the road toward Lexington to meet the British, traveling about 1.5 miles (2 km) until they met the approaching column of regulars. As the regulars numbered about 700 and the militia at this time only numbered about 250, the militia column turned around and marched back into Concord, preceding the regulars by a distance of about 500 yards (457 m). The militia retreated to a ridge overlooking the town and the command discussed what to do next. Caution prevailed, and Colonel James Barrett surrendered the town of Concord and led the men across the North Bridge to a hill about a mile north of town, where they could continue to watch the troop movements of the British and the activities in the center of town. This step proved fortuitous, as the ranks of the militia continued to grow as minuteman companies arriving from the western towns joined them there.

The search for militia supplies

When the troops arrived in the village of Concord, Smith divided them to carry out Gage's orders. The 10th Regiment's company of grenadiers secured South Bridge under Captain Mundy Pole, while seven companies of light infantry under Captain Parsons, numbering about 100, secured the North Bridge near Barrett's force. Captain Parsons took four companies from the 5th, 23rd, 38th and 52nd Regiments up the road 2 miles (3.2 km) beyond the North Bridge to search Barrett's Farm, where intelligence indicated supplies would be found. Two companies from the 4th and 10th were stationed to guard their return route, and one company from the 43rd remained guarding the bridge itself. These companies, which were under the relatively inexperienced command of Captain Walter Laurie, were aware that they were significantly outnumbered by the 400-plus militia men that were only a few hundred yards away. The concerned Captain Laurie sent a messenger to Smith requesting reinforcements.

Using detailed information provided by Loyalist spies, the grenadier companies searched the small town for military supplies. When they arrived at Ephraim Jones's tavern, by the jail on the South Bridge road, they found the door barred shut, and Jones refused them entry. According to reports provided by local Tories, Pitcairn knew cannon had been buried on the property. Jones was ordered at gunpoint to show where the guns were buried. These turned out to be three massive pieces, firing 24-pound shot, that were much too heavy to use defensively, but very effective against fortifications, with sufficient range to bombard the city of Boston from other parts of nearby mainland. The grenadiers smashed the trunnions of these three guns so they could not be mounted. They also burned some gun carriages found in the village meetinghouse, and when the fire spread to the meetinghouse itself, local resident Martha Moulton persuaded the soldiers to help in a bucket brigade to save the building. Nearly a hundred barrels of flour and salted food were thrown into the millpond, as were 550 pounds of musket balls. Of the damage done, only that done to the cannon was significant. All of the shot and much of the food was recovered after the British left. During the search, the regulars were generally scrupulous in their treatment of the locals, including paying for food and drink consumed. This excessive politeness was used to advantage by the locals, who were able to misdirect searches from several smaller caches of militia supplies.

Barrett's Farm had been an arsenal weeks before but few weapons remained now, and these were, according to family legend, quickly buried in furrows to look like a crop had been planted. The troops sent there did not find any supplies of consequence.

The North Bridge

Colonel Barrett's troops, upon seeing smoke rising from the village square, and seeing only a few companies directly below them, decided to march back toward the town from their vantage point on Punkatasset Hill to a lower, closer flat hilltop about 300 yards (274 m) from the North Bridge. As the militia advanced, the two British companies from the 4th and 10th that held the position near the road retreated to the bridge and yielded the hill to Barrett's men.

Five full companies of Minutemen and five more of militia from Acton, Concord, Bedford and Lincoln occupied this hill as more groups of men streamed in, totaling at least 400 against Captain Laurie's light infantry companies, a force totaling 90–95 men. Barrett ordered the Massachusetts men to form one long line two deep on the highway leading down to the bridge, and then he called for another consultation. While overlooking North Bridge from the top of the hill, Barrett, Lt. Col. John Robinson of Westford and the other Captains discussed possible courses of action. Captain Isaac Davis of Acton, whose troops had arrived late, declared his willingness to defend a town not their own by saying, "I'm not afraid to go, and I haven't a man that's afraid to go."

Barrett told the men to load their weapons but not to fire unless fired upon, and then ordered them to advance. Laurie ordered the British companies guarding the bridge to retreat across it. One officer then tried to pull up the loose planks of the bridge to impede the colonial advance, but Major Buttrick began to yell at the regulars to stop harming the bridge. The Minutemen and militia advanced in column formation on the light infantry, keeping to the road, since it was surrounded by the spring floodwaters of the Concord River.

Captain Laurie then made a poor tactical decision. Since his summons for help had not produced any results, he ordered his men to form positions for "street firing" behind the bridge in a column running perpendicular to the river. This formation was appropriate for sending a large volume of fire into a narrow alley between the buildings of a city, but not for an open path behind a bridge. Confusion reigned as regulars retreating over the bridge tried to form up in the street-firing position of the other troops. Lieutenant Sutherland, who was in the rear of the formation, saw Laurie's mistake and ordered flankers to be sent out. But as he was from a company different from the men under his command, only three soldiers obeyed him. The remainder tried as best they could in the confusion to follow the orders of the superior officer.

A shot rang out, and this time there is certainty from depositions taken from men on both sides afterwards that it came from the Army's ranks. It was likely a warning shot fired by a panicked, exhausted British soldier from the 43rd, according to Laurie's letter to his commander after the fight. Two other regulars then fired immediately after that, shots splashing in the river, and then the narrow group up front, possibly thinking the order to fire had been given, fired a ragged volley before Laurie could stop them.

Two of the Acton Minutemen, Private Abner Hosmer and Captain Isaac Davis, who were at the head of the line marching to the bridge, were hit and killed instantly. Four more men were wounded, but the militia only halted when Major Buttrick yelled "Fire, for God's sake, fellow soldiers, fire!" At this point the lines were separated by the Concord River and the bridge, and were only 50 yards (46 m) apart. The few front rows of colonists, bound by the road, and blocked from forming a line of fire, managed to fire over each others' heads and shoulders at the regulars massed across the bridge. Four of the eight British officers and sergeants, who were leading from the front of their troops, were wounded by the volley of musket fire. At least three privates (Thomas Smith, Patrick Gray and James Hall, all from the 4th) were killed or mortally wounded, and nine were wounded.

The regulars found themselves trapped in a situation where they were both outnumbered and outmaneuvered. Lacking effective leadership and terrified at the superior numbers of the enemy, with their spirit broken, and likely not having experienced combat before, they abandoned their wounded, and fled to the safety of the approaching grenadier companies coming from the town center, isolating Captain Parsons and the companies searching for arms at Barrett's Farm.

After the fight

The colonists were stunned by their success. No one had actually believed either side would shoot to kill the other. Some advanced; many more retreated; and some went home to see to the safety of their homes and families. Colonel Barrett eventually began to recover control. He moved some of the militia back to the hilltop 300 yards (274 m) away and sent Major Buttrick with others across the bridge to a defensive position on a hill behind a stone wall.

Lieutenant Colonel Smith heard the exchange of fire from his position in the town moments after he received the request for reinforcements from Laurie. He quickly assembled two companies of grenadiers to lead toward the North Bridge himself. As these troops marched, they met the shattered remnants of the three light infantry companies running towards them. Smith was concerned about the four companies which had been at Barrett's, since their route to town was now unprotected. When he saw the Minutemen in the distance behind their wall, he halted his two companies and moved forward with only his officers to take a closer look. One of the Minutemen behind that wall observed, "If we had fired, I believe we could have killed almost every officer there was in the front, but we had no orders to fire and there wasn't a gun fired." During a tense standoff lasting about 10 minutes, a mentally ill local man named Elias Brown wandered through both sides selling hard cider.

At this point, the detachment of regulars sent to Barrett's farm marched back from their fruitless search of that area. They passed through the now mostly-deserted battlefield, and saw dead and wounded comrades lying on the bridge. There was one who looked to them as if he had been scalped, which angered and shocked the British soldiers. They crossed the bridge and returned to the town by 11:30 am, under the watchful eyes of the colonists, who continued to maintain defensive positions. The regulars continued to search for and destroy colonial military supplies in the town, ate lunch, reassembled for marching, and left Concord after noon. This delay in departure gave colonial militiamen from outlying towns additional time to reach the road back to Boston.

Establishment Exploits OKC Bombing Victims To Push "Extremist Threat" Propaganda
Bill Clinton and the corporate media waste no time in dancing on the graves of 168 dead men, women and children to demonize their political opposition

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Monday, April 19, 2010

Bill Clinton, the Southern Poverty Law Center and almost the entire corporate media are not letting a good opportunity go to waste today – by dancing on the graves of 168 victims and exploiting the 15th anniversary of the false flag Oklahoma City Bombing to demonize their political enemies, the Internet, and anyone who dares to express dissent against the federal government.

ATTENTION PATRIOTS INVOLVED WITH TEA PARTIES.... IT'S A TRAP!



Last night I presented Mark Souder 3rd District Congressman for N.E. Indiana with the question, can Hate Crime Laws can be used against Patriots like us who want to Restrict , who want to Limit the Government, and who want Accountabilty in Governmet and who want to keep our Government in line, believes this is a prime tactic.

I didn't get the full answer recorded because the disk space was full and died.

So short and simple Mark Souder did say YES!!!

Will you see your picture at the post office?

The taxpayer-supported Southern Poverty Law Center is at it again... this time they have created profiles on Patriots.

http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/publications/the-patriots?page=0,0

The hate law is also meant to "prevent" hate crimes. This suggests a federal mandate to discourage the biased thoughts and words which the government views ascausing hate crimes. The Matthew Shepherd Hate Crimes Prevention Act is also meant to
prosecute hate crimes "and for other purposes"-known only to its framer, ADL.


The ADL just produced a 20-page report, "Violent Voices: Anti-Government Extremism Takes on New Intensity." The report gives examples of "hate speech" now proliferating on the internet and suggests these words will lead to violence. ADL says, "We are deeply concerned about the current trend and about the fact that a significant minority is coming to believe that methods of
peaceful protest have failed and the time has come where violence may be
necessary or justified. If this trend continues, the Hutaree arrests may come to be seen not as the culmination, but rather as the first step in a necessary and significant national law enforcement operation. "


Our Right to "Threaten" Government Freedom of speech and conscience should mean that if Americans believe a member of Congress truly betrayed our nation and Constitution they have the right to say so. In the early
1950s, Americans demanded the execution of atomic spies Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg. Today, they have the same right to the opinion that, following due
process, execution of a treasonous public official is justified. A government guilty of treason also deserves a violent end. This last, desperate option is upheld by the Constitution, and millions now believe revolution may be publicly advocated.

Contrary to ADL's depiction of such verbal sentiment as unlawful, this view springs primarily from patriotic conviction, not "hate." Although countless Americans may now hold this opinion, it does not mean they intend to imminently execute traitors. It is not in the same category as sending an email to one's Congressman, threatening to kill him at his next town hall meeting. Yet if ADL is successful in making slurs indictable, soon all who "threaten" government officials through "uncivil" speech could be viewed as hate criminals. Several years ago, a Canadian angrily emailed his Member of Parliament for permitting excessive immigration. The MP filed hate crimes charges under ADL's Canadian hate laws, and the charges were upheld.


Since the number of Americans now uttering "seditious" sentiments is so large, ADL is clearly beginning to condition the public to believe that sweeping legislative action and prosecution may be necessary to preserve order.

Oklahoma City bombing: Is 1995 repeating itself today? / The Christian Science Monitor

It's been 15 years since Timothy McVeigh blew up an Oklahoma City federal building with a truck bomb. One hundred and sixty eight people died, and more than 600 others were injured, in what remains America's worst-ever case of home-grown terrorism. | Since that day, US law enforcement has been on guard against a repeat of such an attack.

FEMA Trying To Cover Up National Planning Scenario For Terrorist Nuclear Detonation Inside U.S.?
Public Intelligence has received a request from FEMA to remove a “For Official Use Only” document regarding the National Level Exercise 2010 (NLE 10), which was scheduled for this coming May. The exercise was to be based on National Planning Scenario 1 which simulates a nuclear detonation in a U.S. city. However, recent political pressure has led to the exercise being “scaled back” according to the Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor and a variety of other publications. At the behest of Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), the exercise’s Nevada events have reportedly been canceled and the FEMA website now shows no mention of NLE 10. On top of this, the Obama administration has recently been emphasizing the threat of a domestic nuclear attack. President Obama’s remarks at the Nuclear Security Summit on April 13, 2010 emphasize that the threat of terrorists using nuclear weapons inside of major metropolitan cities is one of the “greatest threats” that the world faces: "Two decades after the end of the Cold War, we face a cruel irony of history — the risk of a nuclear confrontation between nations has gone down, but the risk of nuclear attack has gone up. Nuclear materials that could be sold or stolen and fashioned into a nuclear weapon exist in dozens of nations. Just the smallest amount of plutonium — about the size of an apple — could kill and injure hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Terrorist networks such as al Qaeda have tried to acquire the material for a nuclear weapon, and if they ever succeeded, they would surely use it. Were they to do so, it would be a catastrophe for the world — causing extraordinary loss of life, and striking a major blow to global peace and stability. In short, it is increasingly clear that the danger of nuclear terrorism is one of the greatest threats to global security — to our collective security.

Domestic Terrorists As Big A Threat As Al-Qaeda, Says FBI Head Robert Mueller
Fifteen years after the Oklahoma City bombing, the spectre of domestic terrorism has returned to haunt the Obama Administration, with a warning from the FBI that “home-grown and lone-wolf extremists” now represent as serious a threat as al-Qaeda and its affiliates. The warning, from the FBI Director, Robert Mueller, came as the former President Clinton drew parallels between the Oklahoma City tragedy and a recent upsurge in anti-government rhetoric, while American television audiences heard Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, describe the “absolute rage” that drove him to plan an attack that killed 168 men, women and children. An FBI spokesman told The Times yesterday that Mr Mueller was referring to right-wing extremist groups and anti-government militias, as well as American Islamists, in his testimony to the Senate committee that must approve the FBI’s $8.3 billion (£5.4 billion) budget. Last month federal agents arrested nine members of a Christian militia based in Michigan, calling itself the Hutaree. They have been charged with plotting to murder local police with a stash of guns, knives and grenades.

Police Getting Military-Style Guns For When The Fight With Terrorists Goes To The Streets
Assistant Commissioner John Yates of the Metropolitan Police, said there could be “a lot of dead people” within the first hour of an attack if officers did not respond quickly enough. He said his colleagues at other forces saw any move to increase armed patrols and provide better weaponry as a “fundamental change in mission.” But he said it was necessary to cope with the threat from armed terrorists on the rampage of the kind seen in India in November 2008 who killed more than 200 people and wounded more than 700. Unarmed officers are likely to be first on the scene and would be putting their lives at risk. Mr Yates said: “Our response from a traditional unarmed police service comes at a high cost to us.” He said the risk to the “unarmed bobby on the street” means that armed officers should be given “heavier ballistic weaponry and heavier ballistic ammunition.” “Some of my colleagues from across the country see this as a fundamental change in mission, yet we will be the first there, the first in the line of fire,” he added. The first hour of any attack would be critical, he said, adding: “During the first hour there are going to be a lot of challenges, a lot of dead people.”

Militia Member Says He Wasn't Aware Of Any Plot

DETROIT (AP) - An Ohio man charged in what federal prosecutors say was a Christian militia's plot to wage war against the government said Saturday that he wasn't aware of any such specific plans.

Kristopher Sickles, 27, of Sandusky told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from jail in Sanilac County, Mich., about 75 miles north of Detroit, that he has "never hurt anyone or taken steps to do so."

"As far as any specific plan to overthrow the government, I never heard such things," Sickles said. "There was off-color talk, but there was no set plan to overthrow this or take over that."

Sickles said he joined the Michigan-based Hutaree to learn how to protect his family, not target the government.

"I'm not this sadistic person that they're presenting me to be," Sickles said. "I wouldn't just blindly follow someone or hurt another person."

The FBI and U.S. attorney's office in Detroit declined to comment Saturday on his remarks about the case.

Sickles is charged with seditious conspiracy; attempting to use weapons of mass destruction; and two counts of carrying, using and possessing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.

Nine suspected Hutaree members were arrested in raids in Michigan , Ohio and Indiana late last month. Prosecutors claim they plotted mass killings of police as a prelude to a larger war against the government.

A federal magistrate judge in Detroit has ordered Sickles and seven other suspects to remain locked up until trial. A ninth suspect was ordered held by a judge in Indiana and recently was transported to Michigan .

The Deadly Sick Legacy of Sanctuary Cities

Scott Brown: Obama Told Me Dems Are Planning to Push Amnesty Bill Next Month…

NOLINKNEWS — 20 April 2010 — Last night I meet with Mark Souder (R) Congressman for N.E. Indiana and he was presented with the question, why not enforce the Immigration laws already on the books instead of making new ones?

This is his reponse to the Giant Problem being created by the United States Federal Government.

Are Cities in N.E. Indiana Sanctuary cities for Illegal Immigation?
Citizens ask Mark Souder that illegal immigration is a clear violation of the law and should be punished as such. Mark describes not just one law the Illegal Aliens Violate but the mulitiple Laws that are broken and that our Local Governments can't handle the amount of
work the Federal Government Refuses to Address.
http://www.newswithviews.com/Wooldridge/frosty396.htm
In the War on Terror, four times more Americans died at the hands of illegal aliens within the United States than U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan--for the past seven years. Illegal aliens continue their own killing zone against Americans in every corner of American society.

What did all those illegal aliens hold in common? Answer: police arrested every single one of them multiple times. Many sported rap sheets five pages long with felonies, drunken driving, rapes, burglaries, car theft and worse. What else did they hold in common? Answer: every single one of them enjoyed exemption from the law. How did they accomplish freedom from the law? Answer: every one of them lived and worked in a Sanctuary City within the United States that gave them immunity from arrest and deportation for their status as illegal aliens.

In other words, our laws do not pertain to them. They could drive drunk, drive without a license, drive without insurance, work without papers, not pay taxes and live within the United States totally against our laws. As the Southwest Airlines ad says, Youre free to move about the country!



This story turns your stomach. It sickens your heart. It leaves a sour taste in your mouth. It grinds at your senses. It bedevils your sense of right and wrong.
Why do you obey our laws, but our own elected officials refuse their obligations to serve and enforce our statues?

The carnage wrought by illegal alien murderers represents only a fraction of the pool of blood spilled by American citizens as a result of an open border and un-enforced immigration laws.

All of those illegal alien criminals enjoy Sanctuary City protection from nearly 30 major cities in the United States—all in violation of the U.S. Constitution. (USC 8, 1374, 274, 275, 276)

ISL Response To IMC and Will Flatt

Monday, April 19, 2010 9:09 AM

From:

"stag751"

On 15 April 2010, the Indiana Sons of Liberty was forwarded an email generated by the commander of the Indiana Militia Corps, William A. Flatt. This email was not addressed to the ISL specifically, but Mr. Flatt made a number of patently false allegations which this reply will specifically address.

ISL's beginnings

The roots of the ISL are based in the IMC. The majority of the original, founding members of the ISL, were at one time IMC officers and members, roughly 13 in all. The reasons regarding the creation of the ISL were very specific, and every reason was based on a general distrust and lack of leadership from the top of the chain, that being specifically William A. Flatt.

Member Security

All competent, security-minded militia groups understand the value of information security, and that collecting massive amounts of personal data on your members is a huge liability for the security of the group. The Michigan Militia learned this lesson the hard way, with the compromise of personal information of its membership, circa 1995.

Mr. Flatt has disregarded this lesson from history, and possesses a huge collection of personal information of the IMC's membership. The IMC's application is three pages in length, requiring information that no militia group should ever ask. In addition to the application, copies of the applicant's CHL, DD214, and a host of other documents, prior to admission into IMC. Once said information is received, IMC history demonstrates that one can expect to wait for an extended period of time for approval, ranging from three months to two years.

------------ --------- --------- ---------

From: William A. Flatt (part 1)

Date: 15 April 2010

"What happened to Hutaree was; they were infiltrated from the beginning (just like ISL), and which is why I have warned people about the "Indiana Sons of Liberty".

ISL Response

After scouring media and law enforcement sources, there is no information of specific law enforcement intelligence activities regarding the recent "Hutaree" incident. Law enforcement authorities do not generally comment upon ongoing investigations, especially investigations of this magnitude. This quotation is baseless in fact at this point in time, just as the baseless accusations leveled against ISL by Flatt. No incontrovertible proof has ever been offered by Flatt to support this, or any other of his claims.

------------ --------- --------- --------

From: William A. Flatt (part 2)

Date: 15 April 2010

"Now, one last thing: I have had hard condemnation for the group known as Indiana Sons of Liberty, and it is justified. But this condemnation does not extend to each and every individual who has become involved with ISL, because that would be unfair to the people who joined ISL out of ignorance for the people who started it, and what they're all about. Some people have left ISL and joined us, so we need to be kind to those who don't share the values that the ISL founders hold. But I condemn them for reasons that some of the veteran members & leaders of our militia were witness and privy to, and all of whom I am sure will corroborate my statement of facts, either in part or in whole:"

ISL Response

The condemnation and justification that Flatt is referring, is his own, personal vendetta. The ISL leadership is not aware of any of its membership leaving it ranks, to specifically join IMC; save ex members that hold politically or racially charged views inconsistent with the ISL mission statement to support the Constitution and the Republic. However, to further answer Flatt's claims: There are many more people that have, in fact, left the IMC, to specifically become a part of ISL.

------------ --------- --------- ---------

From: William A. Flatt (part 3)

Date: 15 April 2010

"The facts: The founders of ISL personally communicated to me that they considered the police to be the enemy, and that extended essentially to ALL government employees, even if they were not involved in law enforcement, and regardless of whether their duties did not involve the enforcement of tyranny upon the people".

ISL Response

Except for the letters of resignation from the ISL leadership, there has been no communication, official or otherwise, with Flatt. Furthermore, ISL has assisted law enforcement in a number of instances since its inception. ISL's ranks are filled with prior service military, EMS first responders, medics, nurses and members of law enforcement, all dedicated to their respective professions. The individual, core values of ISL's membership, are what ISL is built upon, and Flatt's statements indicating otherwise, is a slap to the face of every individual who places others over their own personal gain.

------------ --------- --------- --------

From: William A. Flat (part 4)

Date: 15 April 2010

"Our intelligence gatherers then pieced together for me a very disturbing picture: ISL leaders, aside from expressing an interest in targeting police; aside from expressing an interest in targeting non-sworn government employees; aside from personally threatening me; have also been discussing the making of B-O-M-B-S and are CURRENTLY UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION. I personally looked at this and was able to get a confirmation of sorts regarding federal infiltration and investigation of ISL: my source told me that there is "no denial" which is essentially the same as saying "yes we are".I expect Indiana Sons of Liberty to be "the next Hutaree". Because of this, we need to be extra ready, extra steady, and have our commo plans laid down right!!"

ISL Response

As with the federal investigation of the Hutaree, discussed above, how would Flatt have any information of an ongoing federal investigation? The above written statements, as with most other statements made by Flatt, are again, patently false to the point of being libelous. Additionally, the ISL leadership's position upon illegal activities, which include the making of explosives, as well as the planning or making overt threats to others, are quite clear: It will not be tolerated!

------------ --------- --------- -

From: William A. Flat (part 5)

Date: 15 April 2010

"Not coincidentally, our high standards and refusal to associate with these ne'er-do-wells is why we are held in high regard by so many militias nationwide, why I was commissioned by the 3rd Continental Congress, and why the founders of ISL worked so hard to subvert and destroy our organization, and malign me in particular!! Since their failed effort to either take over or destroy IMC, they have taken up the tactic of copying (almost verbatim) our policy positions. They couldn't recruit people honestly on their own, and they couldn't organize and develop a policy without plagiarizing. People should be aware of the fact that they have a public face that mirrors our policy positions, and a private face that speaks to the contrary when they are not among mixed company."

ISL Response

The ISL has at least one member of the 3rd Continental Congress within its ranks, and the general opinion, according to said member of Flatt, is that he is the subject of much laughter. It cannot be confirmed that Flatt has ever been "commissioned" by anybody, let alone the 3rd Continental Congress. Furthermore, a claim found at:

http://en.allexperts.com/e/i/in/indiana_militia_corps.htm

, stating Flatt to be the "Interim Secretary of Defense" for the 3rd Continental Congress, gives further rise of the dubious nature of Flatt's claims. As such, ISL has endeavored to further separate the perceived influence of IMC, by insisting upon its own unique positions and perspectives, independent of its beginnings.

------------ ---------

IMC's Beginnings

Flatt's patriotic past, as well as the beginning of the IMC, was not without turmoil and stress. Prior to the IMC, Flatt was a member of the Indiana Constitutional Volunteer Militia. Flatt was the webmaster for ICVM, maintaining the website, and responsible for collecting information on all new recruits applying through the website. After a period of time, the ICVM leadership terminated Flatt's membership within the ICVM.

In a gentleman's agreement after his dismissal, Flatt would turn over the website to the ICVM, as well as all of the names collected during the time that the website was operational. Flatt reneged on his promise, utilizing the website and the recruit information obtained, for his own personal use as a launching platform to create the IMC.

The ISL has never attempted, nor ever had any intention to become complicit in IMC's destruction, or change in leadership. This decision is largely due to the IMC command's belief that, with specific exceptions, the remaining personnel within the IMC are "damaged goods", and thus considered undesirable. Most, if not all the membership of ISL that departed IMC, had hoped that they would never have to deal with Flatt's intrusions again. Clearly, we were wrong.

------------ --------- --------

IMC Training History

Training was, and continues to be a major problem within the IMC. One particular day's training, typical of such, Flatt held a map reading and land navigation course, that the attending membership had incorrectly assumed that the distances to be covered would be rather large. The training exercise was little more than shooting compass azimuths between clay pigeons, distanced less than 50 feet apart in a city park. Those that attended had brought all of their field gear, including weapons and rucksack.

------------ ---

Conclusion

The above information represents only a small percentage of the internal characteristics of the IMC, along with the interactions between William Flatt with other patriot groups and individuals. The text of Flatt's email, has been chosen to give a summary of the more egregious portions of his words, without changing the entire document's meaning. As such, it is the feeling that Flatt's correspondence would have only been a waste of bandwidth to reply in every detail.

The ISL has an open-door policy of its membership. Members may come and go as they please, but obey the lawful orders of the leadership while they are engaged within ISL. Within the time since the inception of ISL, the leadership has deemed it necessary to eject three of its members for cause. This remains a small percentage of the overall membership of this organization.

It's not entirely known why Flatt views ISL as a threat, as he has never attempted to make contact with ISL directly since its inception in April, 2009. Perhaps it's due to the ISL's membership opinion of the regard in which they hold him, due to his demonstrated lack of performance and leadership. Aside from the false allegations from him, the command staff of ISL is actively considering his presentation of the "Recruiting officer of the year" award to William Flatt, as his actions and words very often result in the Indiana Sons of Liberty receiving it's influxes of new members.

Thank you, Will. Please keep up the good work!
