Oath Keepers

[bryanleu2002]

Wondering if anyone was aware of this or was part of it? I did a search here for "Oath keepers" and "Guardians of the Republic" and came up with zilch, however its got to be here somewhere, and if so, mods please move me...


From-http://oath-keepers.blogspot.com/2009/03/oath-keepers-declaration-of-orders-we.html

Oath Keepers is an association of currently serving military, veterans, and peace officers who will fulfill the oath we swore to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God.



Our oath is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and we will not obey unconstitutional (and thus illegal) and immoral orders, such as orders to disarm the American people or to place them under martial law and deprive them of their ancient right to jury trial.



We Oath Keepers have drawn a line in the sand. We will not “just follow orders."



Our motto is “Not on our watch!”


Oath Keepers: Orders we will not obey


1.We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.
2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people
3.We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.
4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.
5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.
6.We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.
7.We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control.”
9.We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.

10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.

Disturbing images have come to light of Government repression in Amerikkka.

Do You hear Rotors?

The same Oath that requires you to uphold the Constitution against enemies Foreign and Domestic*.......also requires you to follow orders from those placed in authority over you by the POTUS.

You cannot have it only one way.



*-You (we, in this case) don't get to determine who the "domestic enemies" are, as that is policy set by the civilian Leadership. FYI, "domestic enemies" refers to those seeking to overthrow the United States Government (that's why that part was inserted into the Oath in the 1950's, IIRC).

seems like a pile of leftist political propaganda to me.

More like a pile of far right political propaganda. From people who thought black helicopters were coming to abduct them, and that Bush and Clinton were striving to use the UN to implement the New World Order, that Janet Reno personally killed everyone in Waco, and who probably voted for Ron Paul.

[NeoConPatriot]

I had heard of this once before. A Captain friend of mine back in the 90's said he was approached by another Captain about a similar group. They were real PO'd about Ruby ridge after the info came out about the change in ROE, shooting the kids dog etc...At that time the group claimed they had the support of 2 of the HRT members actually at Ruby Ridge. I don't think they called it Oath Keepers then

[Gungnir]

Is this even true...

Sounds like someone created this group after watching The Da Vinci Code and National Treasure.

I've heard of this group. It was founded by that legendary fighting man, Leroy Jenkins, right?

I hear you!!! Money has no enemy....

[MichaelF]

Ahem...


I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

Notice what part of the Oath the "oathkeepers" neglect to mention?

Commissioned personnel (IOW, Officers*), however, have no clause directing us to obey orders. Our Oath is:


I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

Officers are beholden to their own consciences, as regards following orders. Trick is, you might end up doing time (or get a cigarette and a blindfold) if you refuse the wrong (read: popular) order. YMMV. Best guess is that, if it doesn't violate the Constitution (in your opinion) or the War Crimes Act, you'd best hop to it.

Note also that this is not an oath to defend any specific territory or persons or property. This is an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. The People can go **** themselves (as "the People" have screwed up all the other countries). If 99% of the American public try to subvert the Constitution, they are wrong and I'll ****ing ghost them. That particular item was settled when we beat the Confederacy. If the Constitution isn't working for you, try another Country.


*-Guard Officers, however, do swear to obey the POTUS and the Governor.

Special Announcement! Oath Keepers will muster on the Lexington Green, Lexington Massachusetts, this coming Sunday, April 19th, 2009, from 12 noon to 3 pm.

Oath Keepers has just been invited to participate in a special free rally on the Lexington Green this April 19, sponsored by Committees of Safety (http://www.committeesofsafety.org/) (founded by Walter Reddy and with Dr. Edwin Vieira as Honorary Chairman).

Committees of Safety has invited Oath Keepers' founder Stewart Rhodes to be one of four speakers at the event, and we are in turn inviting all of YOU to join us on the Lexington Green to celebrate "The shot heard around the world"- April 19, 1775, where the first fighting in the Revolutionary War occurred.

Other speakers will be Dr. Edwin Vieira - scholar on the history of the events leading up to the Revolution and also on the historic militia; Walter Reddy - Founder, Committees of Safety; and
Garrett Lear - The Patriot Pastor - who was born in Lexington, and who's ancestor stood at Lexington Green on April 19, 1775 and faced off British troops.



SPECIAL OATH REAFFIRMING AND SWEARING IN CEREMONY ON LEXINGTON GREEN.


On that day, on Lexington Green, on April 19, we Oath Keepers will read aloud our Declaration of Ten Orders We Will NOT Obey and will then reaffirm our oaths to defend the Constitution.

And, for those of you who have never taken the oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, here is your chance to do it on a special day, in a special place, on hallowed ground, in honor of the embattled farmers - Oath Keepers all - who stood and fought at Lexington and Concord on that day so long ago and then beat the hell out of the Regulars all the way back to Boston, along "Battle Road."

We can't imagine a more soul stirring experience than to stand in ranks, right there where those heroes stood, and mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor in defense of the liberty those men won for us and in defense of the Constitution.

Join us! Veterans, active duty, police, fire fighters, and dedicated patriots. We realize this is short notice, but if you can get there, please do join us for what will most assuredly be an electrifying experience you will never forget.

The official event will run from 12 noon to 3 pm, on Sunday, April 19 but Stewart Rhodes, Dave Freeman, Jim Ayala, and others within the national Oath Keepers organization will be there from Friday evening, all weekend, and part of Monday and you can expect that we will make full use of our time together in fellowship with our brothers in arms, whether it be in quiet contemplation on the Green or at Concord Bridge, walking along Battle Road, touring historic sights in Boston, or over some pints of Ale at a local historic tavern.

All are welcome. We would be honored to meet you and spend time with you.

SPECIAL FILMING OF THE EVENTS, OF OATH KEEPERS READING OF OUR DECLARATION, AND FILMING OF YOUR OATHS AND TESTIMONIALS.

We will bring several cameras and film crews and will be filming the entire ceremony, and will also be filming those Oath Keepers who are willing to take part in an outreach film project we are working on. Part of that project will include individual active duty, veterans, police, fire fighters, etc. reading off parts of the Declaration of Ten Orders We Will Not Obey and also reading off parts of the oath to defend the Constitution. All of that material will be compiled into a ten minute montage of all who participate, reading the Declaration and Oath, with each of you on film reading a few words or sentences each.

And we will also be filming the full, individual testimonials of those who are willing to give their own personal testimonials on video.

And all of those films will be used as part of our outreach efforts to active duty military, police, veterans, etc. and will be put online on Youtube, on the new, upcoming Oathkeepers.org website, and elsewhere on the web.
