We're moving!!! Miracles happen all the time here at Camp Casey, and this one in particular is pretty amazing: Crawford resident Fred Mattlage has offered us his land as a new base for our camp! This land is a gift in more than one sense-- it is more private and secure than our current location on Prarie Chapel road; it provides us with more space to set up; and it's a HECK of a lot closer to Bush's ranch. The land is also adjacent to the church Bush attends while in Crawford, so maybe we'll get a glimpse of him this Sunday. And who knows, during his time in God's house he might just be moved to walk over and greet Cindy! But perhaps this is too great a miracle to expect.

With this new, exciting opportunity comes some new needs. This land has far fewer trees than the old site, and so we're going to be baking under the Texas sun. To help us stay healthy and cool, we REALLY need the following:

1. large tents (both the camping type and the canopy type) 2. tarps

And remember, our much larger campsite means that we now have room for YOU!!! Whether you can stay for a few hours, a few days or until the end of August, you are welcome at Camp Casey. People keep streaming in from all over the United States and the world, and we are so thrilled to have them.

Farmers for Cindy

Yesterday, we at Camp Casey had some unexpected yet much-appreciated guests. Wayne, Buddy and Larry, three farmers from Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas, respectively, wandered into the Crawford Peace House around 3 p.m. and my first thought was, "uh oh, these might be Bush supporters." But to our great relief, Wayne announced in his charming Okie accent, "Hello! We're here to see Cindy and tell her that we support her and her cause 100%." Goes to show it doesn't pay to stereotype, and even more importantly, that Cindy supporters and pro-peace people come from all different backgrounds.

Cindy was at Camp Casey, so they offered me a ride in their F-250 and off we went down the windy road towards the Bush ranch. On the way, they told me that they had driven hours in their pick-up truck to tell Cindy that they are very upset by the negative things some people are saying about her, and that they are so proud she is standing up for the truth. Wayne, Larry and Buddy are leaders in American Agriculture Movement, Inc., and they too have taken their stand for justice by participating in the Tractorcade to Washington, D.C.

When Cindy met them, she was so thrilled by their encouraging words! Wayne's daughter will be deploying soon as a nurse in the Reserves, leaving her 7 year-old son at home, and so the two of them exchanged words of comfort.

Please go to Billy Jack and learn more about the guy - really quite amazing, and definitely on the same page as are we.

He's known about the general government corruption for much longer than most of us, and will be making one more movie to try and wake up the sleeping sheep.

From Billy Jack:

From Tom Laughlin & Delores Taylor

George Washington: “Political parties (factions) are a source of corrupting evil, perhaps the greatest threat our new nation faces. Government leaders must be elected on their reputations for disinterested public service … He must pursue no partisan program … (his) only aim should be for the good of the nation as a whole.”

We disdain both political Parties. We stand with George Washington who felt the greatest danger that would destroy the American Experiment of democracy, where all sovereignty, all political power was to be only in the hands of the people -- would be that America would divide into two parties (factions) and men would put their devotion to their Party and its candidate above the well- being of the country and its people as a whole.

Which is exactly what has happened today. Few things have destroyed the American Ideal of all political power in the hands of the people, than the current, thoroughly corrupt two Party system, as the last several shameful, personal assassination elections have proved. We despise this corruption of the two major Parties, and the childish, even idiotic dividing of people into Conservatives or Liberals, each Party Satanizing the other, an ignorant, childish tactic not worthy of a rational adult. Any intelligent, balanced person who is in touch with reality is both Liberal and Conservative – liberal in some areas of their life, and conservative in others, and would never label, let alone demonize one or the other.

We believe that both the cowardly Democratic Party and the rapacious Republican Party have become so systemically corrupt, that, as Senator Warren Rudman said when he resigned from the Senate, “This place has become so corrupt it cannot function anymore.” We believe that is true of the entire Congress, the White House, the Pentagon, and the entire political system inside the Beltway. It is no longer capable of representing the people, but only the special interests, the wealthy, and the corporations, especially the multi-national corporations.

These folks have "got it" for a long time now.

One thing I'd like to point out is that a lot of the supposed "sheeple" are actually not so dumb, they're just too tired from running 24/7 just to stay in place (thanks GloboCorp) and they're too scared to speak up. We do have a government that gives promotions to snipers who kill mothers holding babes in arms (Ruby Ridge), that burns down whole buildings full of children (Waco), and that has officially opened concentration camps (Guantanamo Bay). You can't blame them for being afraid to speak up.

Gold and silver are real money, paper is but a promise.

I wonder if Tom Laughlin has ever seen this book?

The American Ideal of 1776: The Twelve Basic American Principles

GloboCorp knows how to pick 'em huh? From Slick Willy to Lord Bush we get the same "take away their liberty and shit on the constitution" mentality.

I hear this talk of getting rid of the Posse Comitatus act lately and I am amazed for it did not stop the military intervention in Waco. They didn't care then and they certainly don't care now.

Are we but an organic computer influenced by our environment to desire one set of neuropeptides over another, equating into competition for self worth on a primitive level never realized by the shallow and self empowering.

Sounds like the new freedom, to me.

Seriously, those people are the ones that we make sure know that there are others out there, that they are not alone, and that it's usually lots safer to speak out, and it's certainly better for the psyche. imo.

A Principle of the Traditional American Philosophy

1. The Spiritual is Supreme

". . . all men are created . . . endowed by their Creator . . ." (Declaration of Independence) The Principle

1. The fundamental principle underlying the traditional American philosophy is that the Spiritual is supreme--that Man is of Divine origin and his spiritual, or religious, nature is of supreme value and importance compared with things material.

Religious Nature

2. This governmental philosophy is, therefore, essentially religious in nature. It is uniquely American; no other people in all history have ever made this principle the basis of their governmental philosophy. The spiritual brotherhood of men under the common fatherhood of God is a concept which is basic to this American philosophy. It expresses the spiritual relationship of God to Man and, in the light thereof, of Man to Man. To forget these truths is a most heinous offense against the spirit of traditional America because the greatest sin is the lost consciousness of sin.

by Hamilton Abert Long, 1976

Ahhh, but um, our government...I mean ahhh, um cannot be...ahh, um isn't ahhh, um based on religion or god....ahhh, um

Seperation of church and state, yea that's the ticket...ahhh, um ;)
