MESSAGE FROM STEWART RHODES, FOUNDER OF OATH KEEPERS:
Oath Keepers is coming to the aid of this young Marine veteran and our rallying cry will be "CHARGE HIM, OR RELEASE HIM." We cannot allow "mental illness" designations to be used as a weapon against political dissidents in America. See the below article by Brandon Smith for the disturbing facts regarding the use of mental health detention against Virginia Marine veteran Brandon Raub because of his constitutionally protected free speech on his Facebook page. As Brandon Smith illustrates, this is exactly what the Soviet Union did to dissidents who dared to criticize the communist regime - they were labeled "insane" and carted off to mental wards. Now it has begun here in America. This is a blatant circumvention of constitutional criminal due process which is every bit as dangerous as being designated an "unlawful combatant" under the NDAA and taken away to a military brig for detention without charges. How is this any different? Mental health detention can be used in exactly the same way.This is an incredibly dangerous crossing of a critical line in the sand - the politicization of the mental health system, using it as a weapon against dissidents to punish them for their constitutionally protected political speech. This case is the camel's nose under the tent, and we need to stomp on it HARD, right now. And we will.
Brandon Raub has very competent local legal counsel provided by the Rutherford Institute.If you would like to donate to his legal defense, go to https://www.rutherford.org/donate/ and be sure to add a note that your donation is for the Raub case.Oath Keepers has offered to write an amicus brief if the Rutherford attorneys think it will help, but our primary goal is to compliment their legal efforts with as many boots on the ground as we can muster to go there in person and rally in outspoken support of this brother veteran.While the case is being tried in the legal courts, we will try it in the court of public opinion and bring as much public pressure to bear as possible.Last night, Oath Keepers leadership, including both national and Virginia Oath Keepers leaders, spoke with Attorney John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute and also with Brandon Raub's Mother, Cathleen Thomas.We will be coordinating closely both with his legal team and with his family to support Brandon in any way possible.
Last night I interviewed Cathleen Thomas about her son's ordeal. Also on the interview was Oath Keepers Eastern U.S. Vice President Rand Cardwell (a Marine Scout-sniper veteran). You can listen to that interview here:

Cathleen also asked us to post this statement from her, about her son:
He's a good-to-go Marine who understands he is in a situation where he is watched at all times and he knows they are looking for anything to use as a justification for what they are doing to him. He is disciplined, but please pray for his patience, and his stalwart faith. He knew that when he spoke up something like this could happen. He sensed it was coming, and yet he knew he had not just a First Amendment protected right, but also a DUTY to speak out.
We had conversations about what is going on in our country and then decided to do something about it. We formed the Richmond Liberty movement and held a rally November 15, 2011 and have been very active in the community since. We were always speaking out against legislation threatening rights, such as SOPA, and writing our legislators.
We thank every single man and woman in Oath Keepers for honoring the Constitution and we appreciate your support. - Cathleen Thomas.
[ turns out Cathleen is a subscriber to our email alert list, and has been a fan of Oath Keepers for some time].
As a dangerous assault on our Constitution, this is very similar to the New Hampshire "baby snatching" case, where a newborn baby was taken from her parents by child protective services only hours after birth, and one of the reasons listed in the affidavit was that the father, Jonathan Irish, was a "member of the militia group, Oath Keepers" (he was not actually a member, but he had been signed up on our free Ning page, and no, we are not a militia, but regardless, we could not let them get away with that use of the father's constitutionally protected free speech and political associations to take his child). That too was a camel's nose under the tent, and if allowed to stand would have been a very chilling precedent of using child protective services as a weapon against unpopular dissidents, to punish them for their speech and association by taking their children. That would have resulted in people chilling their own speech, sitting down and shutting up, for fear of losing their children. We called for a rally of Oath Keepers outside the courthouse, and Oath Keepers from around the country responded with boots on the ground The family had very competent local legal counsel, but there is no doubt that by holding a rally there we helped to put serious public pressure on the officials in New Hampshire to do the right thing.And they did, returning the baby to her parents.
We intend to do much the same here.There are already local liberty activists protesting outside of the Veterans Administration hospital in Salem, Virginia (where Brandon Raub was transferred last night, after a local magistrate rubber stamped his "preventive detention" and extended it for 30 more days).
1970 Roanoke Blvd.
Salem, VA 24153
540-982-2463 | 888-982-2463
We urge you to participate in those ongoing protests, and we will also announce a date in the next week or so (likely over Labor Day weekend) when we will hold a special Oath Keepers muster there, to put as many active duty and veteran boots on the ground, on one day, to demand his release.The intent will be to compliment the already ongoing protests/rallies.Stay tuned for details. But don't wait for that one event - get out there now, if you can, and urge others to do likewise.
We urge you to spread the word about this cases to everyone - every veteran, every concerned American, every website, every group - especially veterans groups and organizations - and also to put pressure on all public officials involved to do the right thing, and put pressure on federal officials and members of Congress, as well as the Obama Administration, to set this Marine free.Demand that they charge him or release him! And if you have contacts among current serving Marines at Camp Lejeune, give them a heads up and urge them to be in Salem over the Labor Day Weekend to stand for a brother.
This use of mental health services as a weapon is straight out of the DHS/SPLC playbook. Recall that Richard Cohen, the Chairman of the Southern Poverty Law Center, sat on the DHS Working Group on Countering Violent Extremism - making SPLC essentially part of DHS. In the published recommendations of that working group in 2010, addressed to the Secretary of Homeland Security, they specifically recommend that DHS use local social services, including mental health services to counter "violent extremism." This case, just as with the Irish baby snatching case, is precisely what SPLC wants to see done to all of us pesky constitutionalists and liberty lovers on the political right in this country. They want, more than anything, to turn all of the apparatus of the state into a weapon against their political opponents, and above all, they want local police to be their tools of oppression, with their power coming out of the barrels of police guns.
We must defend this brother Marine, brother veteran, and fellow American.If we don't, then we will be next, and once the "mental health" raids begin in earnest, we will be at the "Solzhenitsyn moment" when we will have no choice but to resist.Don't wait till then.The time to stand is now.Sweat now, or bleed later. Stand up, step up, and show up now, right there in the streets of Salem, Virginia, by the hundreds or thousands, or you will have to step out onto battlefield America later.The choice is yours.
Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito (Do not give in to evil but proceed ever more boldly against it) -Virgil.
For the Republic,
Stewart Rhodes

Did you know Hurricane Erin was the closest to NYC on 9/11/01 …
Summing the angel in whirlwind -- Bush's 2001 inaugural address ... 9 months later 9/11/01
Bush summons the angel in the whirlwind (supernatural hurricane?), a hurricane shows up 9 months later.
Think of the hurricane as a directed energy weapon, i.e. the Hutchinson effect (Tesla based research)—see Judy Wood below.
See attached excerpt from Horn’s Apollyon Rising 2012 recounting Bush speech.
Figure 3. Hurricane Erin track (atl.ec.gc.ca). Hurricane Erin was the closest to NYC on 9/11/01. Why didn't we hear about this in the morning news? Note that Erin increased in strength as it approached Bermuda and passed by Bermuda. Yet, as Erin approached Bermuda, the warnings were dropped to that of a "tropical storm."

I tried locating Bush’s 2001 inaugural address, and no surprise, it was not easy to find (CNN will have to do).
http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/inauguration/2001/transcripts/template.html
In 1979, Hutchison claimed to have discovered a number of unusual phenomena, while trying to duplicate experiments done by Nikola Tesla. He refers to several of these phenomena jointly under the name "the Hutchison effect", including:
-levitation of heavy objects.
-fusion of dissimilar materials such as metal and wood, while lacking any displacement.
-the anomalous heating of metals without burning adjacent material.
-the spontaneous fracturing of metals.
-changes in the crystalline structure and physical properties of metals.
-disappearance of metal samples.
Military interest:
According to Hutchison and United States Col. John Alexander, military scientists from the United States have been working with him because of the effect's military potential. In the documentary Free Energy: The Race to Zero Point, he states that military scientists were impressed with the effects, but were not able to replicate them on their own without assistance.[4][5][6]

Judy Wood - Where Did the Towers Go?
January 18, 2011
Judy D. Wood is a former professor of mechanical engineering with research interests in experimental stress analysis, structural mechanics, optical methods, deformation analysis, and the materials characterization of biomaterials and composite materials. She is a member of the Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM), co-founded SEM's Biological Systems and Materials Division, and has served on the SEM Composite Materials Technical Division. Dr. Wood received her B.S. (Civil Engineering, 1981) (Structural Engineering), M.S. Engineering Mechanics (Applied Physics), 1983), and Ph.D. (Materials Engineering Science, 1992). Dr. Wood started to question the events of 9/11 on that same day when what she saw and heard on television was contradictory and appeared to violate the laws of physics. Since that day she has used her knowledge of engineering mechanics to prove that the collapse of the World Trade Center twin towers could not have happened as the American public was told. In this interview, Judy Wood talks about her book "Where Did the Towers Go?" The book is the culmination of years of work and study that she's been presenting on her website DrJudyWood.com about the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings on 9/11 2001. She has been tracking and collecting many of the anomalies witnessed on that day and found evidence for a strange effect related to the work of John Hutchison called "The Hutchison Effect. We discuss how directed-energy weapons might have been involved in destroying the towers. Topics Discussed: forensics, interference energy, John Hutchinson, hurricane Erin, tornados, towers turning to dust, anomalies, strange effects, physics, WTC4, WTC7, NIST, classified technology, the billiard ball example and more.

Tesla: The Missing Papers:
One of the more controversial topics involving Nikola Tesla is what became of many of his technical and scientific papers after he died in 1943. Just before his death at the height of World War II, he claimed that he had perfected his so-called "death beam." So it was natural that the FBI and other U.S. Government agencies would be interested in any scientific ideas involving weaponry. Some were concerned that Tesla's papers might fall into the hands of the Axis powers or the Soviets.
[...]
P. E. Foxworth, assistant director of the New York FBI office, was called in to investigate. According to Foxworth, the government was "vitally interested" in preserving Tesla's papers. Two days after Tesla's death, representatives of the Office of Alien Property went to his room at the New Yorker Hotel and seized all his possessions.

The Electric Universe theory highlights the importance of electricity throughout the Universe. It is based on the recognition of existing natural electrical phenomena (eg. lightning, St Elmo's Fire), and the known properties of plasmas (ionized "gases") which make up 99.999% of the visible universe, and react strongly to electro-magnetic fields.

Nikola TeslaFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Through longitudinal waves,[citation needed] Tesla transferred energy to receiving devices. He sent electrostatic forces through natural media across a conductor situated in the changing magnetic flux and transferred electrical energy to a wireless receiver.

Could the energy from an hurricane be transferred to a building acting as a receiver?
