♩Will Theater Survive ♫ the Death of Film ??
  1. How many of you out there have a local situation like this?
  2. How many wish to help something old survive but do not know any way?
Please read on.

(I am not asking anyone to help here with the possible exception of those who have a strong connection to Wisconsin. If you have such a connection whether or not to help is your call. I have not offered any help yet but think that I will promise some. The counts I just saw were 449 backers promising $56,349 toward the $70,000 goal with the deadline of Tuesday May 7, 3:45pm EDT. I might not need to promise anything to keep it alive.)

Our local theater, the Towne Cinema in Watertown, Wisconsin is in danger of closing because they are being forced to move away from film. The notice in the window where I had my haircut touched up brought that sharply to my attention.

Someone found a way to use a website to make giving to keep it afloat easier. I noticed other places mentioned which needed help too when I looked at that website.

Recent Goings-On Around October 7, 2012
The last meeting of the Rock River Patriots was interesting.

klaashaas is doing me the courtesy of playing me a number of handicap Go 19x19 games to determine my rating. He told me that he is a 3 kyu by European standards.
We already played one game at five stones. He told me that I should play at full strength and that if I won it I was at least 8 kyu. He resigned #7544914; so, I am apparently at least 8 kyu in strength (at least if playing here at Goldtoken is equivalent to playing over the board in tournaments which is a questionable claim in my opinion).
He gave me a link about comparing playing strength designations around the globe with #7544914 move #192 -- http://senseis.xmp.net/?RankWorldwideComparison. To my surprise he told me that the Japanese ranking was weaker than the European ranking.

Then he surprised me by extending me a challenge to a four-stone game -- #7779283 -- after resigning the five-stone game.
Here is how I am showing it at the top of its Game notes to remind me right away which game it is
4-STONE_GAME GO BlackGO BlackGO BlackGO Black
~~ 4-STONE_GAME ~~ : GOb ::: GOb :: GOb :: GOb :: to give you an idea how to do it.

I asked for today off to go to an event only to look at the notice about it after getting home and then to note that it is on October 14th, 2012 rather than today, October 7th. Duh Is that evidence that I needed a day off anyway? Rolling eyes

A nearby congregation is having a farewell dinner for its pastor later today.

Still being scheduled for work 8 + (10 x 6) weekly.

Wisconsin Event 9.15.2012, New Vieira Book, ...
The Rock River Patriots and the WI 9/12 Project are hosting an event in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. The speakers are
  • Beverly Eakman who writes at NewsWithViews
and
  • Michael Shaw from Freedom Advocates.
http://rockriverpatriots.com/

It is approaching local midnight here (11:38 PM). Around last midnight I checked whether Dr. Vieira had posted anything new at NWV. He had--on September 4th. I am so current. Falling He requests letters of interest for his new great work about the Militia, The Sword and Sovereignty: The Constitutional Principles of “the Militia of the several States”.
  • *"This book is a comprehensive study—over 2,000 pages in length, with more than 6,000 footnotes and endnotes—of the constitutional and statutory history of the Militia, with special emphasis on the role of the Militia as the ultimate institutions through which We the People provide, or withhold, 'the consent of the governed'".*

Work is keeping me fairly busy. We are working seven days a week with eight-hour shifts Sundays and ten-hour shifts the other days. I asked and got Saturday off to go the the event.

We got rain today. I know. Very exciting. Rolling eyes

Two More White Knights: William Federer & David Barton
William Federer has a TV program called Faith in History on
  • http://TCT.tv/ three times a day Monday through Friday and once on Sunday
    • I think that one can watch these on demand online.

David Barton has a TV program called American Heritage Series on
  • http://NRBnetwork.TV/
    • It is on today, Thursday, July 19, 2012, at 7:00 pm and 11:00 pm CDT (Central Daylight Time)
      • Central Time is GMT -6; so, Central Daylight Time is GMT -5 Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone. Smiling
        • I think that one must watch these when they are being satellite-cast or else record them to watch later.

Both men are historians. Thumbs up

Re: Two More White Knights: William Federer & Davi
You are Welcome David Barton has helped bring much to light, but because of his apparent muddying of the waters about distinctions between Christianity and other faiths (Brannon Howse's commentary in Worldview Weekend if I recall.) I maybe ought to have classified him as a Grey (Gray?) Knight.

Another scholar of whom I recently read Thank you to the "Annie Oakley of the Airwaves", Laurie Roth, is Kris Anne Hall. I hunted for her with a Search Engine using the term roots of liberty and then went back and found the article in which I first read of her. I give the links in this order: the article, her link in that article, and the link about her from the search engine search. In that search I came across something by Rev. Opitz who has had articles in The Freeman: Ideas On Liberty which I think is published by FEE.

Re: Two More White Knights: William Federer & Davi
They have David Barton on TBN and I am just amazed at the things I have learned from listening... I would like to have the whole set saved for my grandchildren when they grow up. Thats the only way they would get the real education of our heritage....The last one I heard, he was talking about how blacks were always with many of the white ppl helping them in wars, or holding offices way back them, they were Christians.. David said that is why they dont put them in our textbooks today, because they dont want to talk about the Christians.. but he gave the whole 1/2 hour so much info on the black man and what he had done that most of us will never know..love the info u put up.

Some Research Sources (&/or White Knights for Liberty)
Robert Yates, Luther Martin - Secret Proceedings and Debates of the Constitutional Convention
  • This source is from another player at the History Club which seems to be no more. I could not truthfully claim to have found it myself. Thank you to the other player for telling me about it.
Any grownups who wish to have the URL need but message me.

Clayton Cramer's Home Page
  • http://www.claytoncramer.com/index.html I think that I found this one while looking for sources about the old militia laws to which Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr. referred. For whatever reason no link to this site was included on the Committees of Safety and/or Sovereign State Depository site(s) when I checked.


UPDATE *Wednesday, July 18, 2012*
  1. The former had NOTICE: This domain name expired on 06/17/2012 and is pending renewal or deletion. posted by GoDaddy.
  2. The latter is still up.
UPDATE

I deemed their being down bad news. Sad Both of them were trying to implement Dr. Vieira's advice. Dr. Vieira's latest three-part article proclaims that the situation is indeed dire here in the USA. He points to preparations for the police state to clamp down. Below are links to his Facebook link and to that three-part article, below them one to the organization to which he gave those speeches, and below that one to Dr. Fekete's website.

Edwin Vieira, Jr.'s Facebook page and his latest articles

Committee for Monetary Research & Education

Retired Professor Fekete has also spoken to the above group. I thought it impressive that he could critique ancient Egyptian monetary practices (if I attribute that to the right person).

Timothy Baldwin, lawyer and son of Chuck Baldwin, listed some historical sources he thought useful in one of his articles at NewsWithViews. I saw it a while back but did not find it just now.

A Scholar's Summary of Edwin Vieira, Jr.'s 2-Volume Pieces of Eight
http://mises.org/books/rozeff_us_constitution_and_money.pdf is the link. I was checking to see whether or not Google Books had the earlier version of his book available even though he had given it into the public domain years ago and whether they knew that he had put it into the public domain.

I think that I came across the fact that this had been written but might not have saved the URL before. Here it is.

Militia & Money by the States to Protect the People from Rule by the Worst
(That is worst rather than wurst even though German Fest was going on in Milwaukee today.)

I have failed to keep up on all of Dr. Vieira's articles. Specifically, I refer to his recent articles A Cross of Gold - Parts 1 to 5 which are dated May 10, 2011.
  1. http://newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin233.htm
  2. http://newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin234.htm
  3. http://newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin235.htm
  4. http://newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin236.htm
  5. http://newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin237.htm
It seems that Militia and Money must be implemented soon for the people in general to benefit or else the scoundrels who wish to take advantage of the people in general will put the next version of their evil scheme to control the economy in place. I suspect that sounds melodramatic, but that does not necessarily mean that it is not true.

I pointed out elsewhere a few years ago in a post with its title beginning with PHASER THE DOLLAR that we should not talk about
  • "dollars",
  • "yen", or
  • any other pet name for a unit of money
because posterity could forget what such a name meant allowing a group of crooks to pretend that the name meant something which it never meant. Vieira and/or his friends knew more history than I know and came up with Pure Gold and Pure Silver at the Sovereign State Depository website.
http://www.sovereignstatedepository.com/
I had not yet read the quotation of Alexander Hamilton describing the dollar as containing so much "pure silver" in the earlier version of Dr. Vieira's book on our money system. It recently became available for free download at the Ludwig von Mises Institute website under the author Edwin Vieira, Jr..
http://mises.org/literature.aspx?action=author&Id=1512
His free online book in PDF format is
The Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the U.S. Constitution A Study Prepared for the United States Gold Commission, submitted into the public domain February 8, 1982.
  • I learned that it had been available about four months at the time I learned about it because I got that information after I signed up for the RSS feed of his writing posted at that website; so, I was not ignorant about it too long.
  • Also, I had not known that he had given it into the public domain.
  • I don't know whether Dr. Ron Paul's foreword was given into the public domain though.
Now, it is up to you. Please study this and then contact your State legislator.

The Bible On Trial: Beyond A Reasonable Doubt -- hosted by Craig Parton, Esq.
I saw part of this on the NRB Network because I left the TV on and woke at the right time. Years ago Craig Parton spoke in Wisconsin and allowed me to videotape his presentation Defending The Biblical Gospel. I think that this might be the latest version of that presentation, but I have not asked him.

I think that you can watch some of it free online. If they broadcast, cablecast, or satellite-cast it again you might be able to watch if free that way.

Fixed Point Foundation Hour. WorldView Weekend. Bernard von NotHaus Wrongly Convicted.
I came across a program within the last few months -- the Fixed Point Foundation Hour -- which has debates. One of them was between Richard Dawkins and John Lennox if I recall correctly. I think that last night's (March 28, 2011) was between Larry Taunton and Christopher Hitchens.

I also caught Worldview Weekend yesterday.

On the meaning-and-money front Bernard von Nothaus was recently convicted in federal court in North Carolina. I thought that he should have been acquitted. I still do not understand how the prosecuting attorney could make the arguments she did. I think that they are claiming the right to treat the meaning of the word "dollar" like silly putty which they can bend any way they wish rather than as having the unchangeable meaning of a silver coin containing three hundred seventy-one and one quarter grains Troy of silver and having its value from the silver contained in it.

"To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States


is part of the Constitution relevant to the coinage issue.

If Edwin Vieira, Jr. is right about the meaning of "regulate the Value thereof" they are supposed to declare the value of coins based on how much gold or silver the coins contain.
  • In the case of silver they should
    • divide the amount of silver in a coin by 371.25 grains Troy and then
    • declare that the coin was worth so many dollars.
  • In the case of a coin containing gold they should
    • determine how much gold is in the coin and then
    • apply the ratio between the prices of gold and silver to how how much silver the gold is worth and
    • do as for a silver coin with that much silver in it.
In other words declaring the value of a coin is not an area of freedom for the government to say anything it likes but rather one of duty for the government to follow an inflexible procedure.
http://www.itulip.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-12011.html

Puzzled I have read some of Veiera's articles and understood the above. Has Anne M. Tompkins?

Puzzled Are the federal folks claiming the right not to fulfill their duty to put out coins of the proper weight and fineness while holding the States to the prohibition against their minting coin? Should not those be understood as reciprocal, that is, that the States may not mint coin so long as the federal government fulfills its duty to mint coin according to the right standard and in enough quantity?

Puzzled How do they dare to add the word exclusive? Granting the power of coinage to Congress and forbidding it to the States does not forbid private mints from making coin, does it?

Maybe even worse she called von NotHaus a "unique terrorist". Rolling eyes It would be laughable if it were not so serious.

RIP Joan Veon, Griffin on the War on Terrorism, Notable Creationist Speaker
A while back while looking at the articles listed at NewsWithViews I noticed that the researcher Joan Veon had died. Her column was called "Connecting The Dots". I met her once at an event, something I cannot truly say about many of the freedom fighters. She was a certified financial planner who traveled to UN events at her own expense to report on them to keep us informed. She once wrote that capitalism was an -ism. She will be missed.

While hunting for Freedom Force International's website I found G. Edward Griffin's article explaining why talking about a war on terrorism was nonsense. G. Edward Griffin -- A Second Look At The War On Terrorism

A notable speaker, Dr. Jerry Bergman, will be in the Milwaukee area tomorrow, March 8, 2011, at the behest of the Creation Science Society of Milwaukee to deliver a speech titled "The Dark Side of Charles Darwin." He also has given a speech titled "Slaughter of the Dissidents." Cornerstone TV has his speech and many others available to read in PDF.

Pieces Of Eight Reprint Announced December 1, 2010
We have another chance to get hold of his two-volume book, Pieces of Eight: The Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the United States Constitution because of "the generous support of James Turk and the GoldMoney Foundation". I have held it in my hands. It seemed very well made--just as he wrote.

Reading this book is said not to be easy, but it should be worth the effort if we also reclaim right meaning and revitalize the institution of the militia referred to in the Constitution. One way the militia is important is to ward off tyrants posing as enforcers of law like some of the private security firms acting as though they were police. I recently read of this on the WI4RonPaul group.

Vieira's Speeches at Committees Of Safety Website
Edwin Vieira, Jr. considers revitalization of the institution of the Militia critical to retaining our freedom in the United States pointing out that the Constitution calls the Militia essential and claims that the Constitution requires each State to maintain a Militia in perpetuity. I call this an implicit command.
Puzzled Surprisingly, another lawyer, Mat Staver who founded Liberty Counsel, denied this on the radio when I called in and asked whether the Constitution required each State to have a Militia. I still do not understand that and have not yet written to him to request an explanation. I think that two such authorities on the law should not disagree about what the law is.

The website of the Committees of Safety has speeches by Edwin Vieira under security. Walter Reddy founded the Committees of Safety.

Re: Vieira's Speeches at Committees Of Safety Webs
I'll answer this post by saying that I don't disagree with anything you've said except perhaps your desire to make everything a constitutional issue. The constitution has been killed by civil war. The division of powers was destroyed when the president became a military dictator and stomped out those who thought that divison of powers was their right.

these days congress doesn't even read a full bill in session much less the full three constituionally required times ... that brings into question any laws passed under such regime. Let me simply end with a Jefferson quote that I think might fit here:

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

maybe ... it's time.

Re: Vieira's Speeches at Committees Of Safety Webs
I realize that asking you to read all of Vieira's articles on NewsWithViews might be considered too big a request; so, I give you my sense of them or point to website(s) which give(s) an explanation.
If I recall correctly WVCY had Larry Pratt on as a guest shortly after I went off on Mat Staver on national radio (Not my most Vulcan moment!) for failing my expectations of his scholarship. Pratt referred to the context or the understanding back then. Likely he agrees with Vieira. I have not read Pratt's book on the Militia to be sure.
Why is a Militia needed? The Framers (as do I) held to the belief that Man is basically evil, not inherently good or neutral. So, the challenge is to come up with a form of government which will restrain that evil. Concentrated power often proves too much of a temptation; so, they sought to divide power and to have one concentration of power work against other concentrations of power. The Founding Fathers did not trust a Standing Military. I think that is the reason that an Army needed to be funded every two years. Also, I read that they were very reluctant to confer the title of admiral on anyone.
The Founding Fathers rested their expectation of keeping any sort of good government on the virtue of the People in general. If the People are to be the rulers then they must themselves have the Power of the Sword. The Militia is how that was done in the Original Thirteen Colonies/States.
See Clayton Cramer's website as well as the one I mention below.
Vieira looks at the context and states that the Founders assumed the permanence of the Militia. (I suspect that is why they did not spell it out better for us, their Dullard Posterity.) So, the Constitution itself proclaims that the Militia is necessary (or needed if you want a plainer word) without making it mace-in-the-face blunt that each State in the Union is required forever to maintain its own Militia (so long as the Constitution is not amended to remove that requirement).
Now that you have already put up with me too long Rolling eyes would you rather read me or someone more scholarly? Smiling I could continue to try to put others' essays into my own words. The website ReclaimingTheConstitution gives some explanation. I shall be happy to point you to others and/or to keep explaining.

Re: Vieira's Speeches at Committees Of Safety Webs
the thing wrong with the law is the men who write and enforce it. The only true law is that of God.

To play devil's advocate for a moment: "what is necessary is required" Why is a militia necessary? we have a standing military body sworn to protect the country.
Posted at 21 May 2010 at 10:02AM by Colonel Crockett
Re: Vieira's Speeches at Committees Of Safety Webs
I have read a fair number of Vieira's articles. His reasoning seems to be that what is necessary is required. Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel also said that States were not required by the Constitution to maintain a Militia. Someone is wrong. Juris Doctors are supposed to be right about the law.
Posted at 19 May 2010 at 5:26PM by M3
Re: Vieira's Speeches at Committees Of Safety Webs
there is no constitutional requirement. Each state has a right to implement, instruct, and utilize its own militia but there is NO REQUIREMENT.

I personally think that state militias are great but we are in the minority

I realize that it is too late to try to help get it printed. I think that I should have posted that quotation with the original post. I added it belatedly. I sent a check which has not been returned. I take that to mean that the printing is on but not finished to his satisfaction yet. Getting the check back would have been bad news.

Unrated Test & Practice Xiphiastrey Game Done 21 Jun 2009 at 3:41AM Central Daylight Time
#5227809 finished earlier this morning. My opponent, ypercube, helped me to try out some things in Xiphias-variants. Thank you, ypercube.
This game shows that
  • Rockets and Force Fields are not compatible, (In fact a Rocket popping up under a Force Field is the only current way of which I know to destroy a Force Field.)
  • a Rocket on a Planet first excludes a Bomb from placement there but does not detonate a Bomb when it pops up on a Planet which already has a Bomb on it -- order of placement matters! ,
&
  • a Force Field and a Bomb can be on the same Planet. I think that order of placement does not matter.

In keeping with Number 1 I suggest that Fired Rockets be considered a combination of Rocket(s) & Force Field(s). Maybe they are a one-planet force explosion?

Self-destructs already count as though they are a combination of an Alien and a number of Force Fields to match the Alien's level. Might they actually be Rockets and Force Fields triggered by their own Alien?

Although Unrated Games might not show up in one's game total they do show up in the list of finished games. At least this one shows up at the top of my list of completed Xiphiastrey games.

Now why not introduce more powerful Bombs or Bomb-like things like a triggerable self-detonation which is invisible like a Bomb? We could have three levels of such horrors like the three levels of self-destruction now available. Also such Area Bombs or Invisible & Sleeping Self-Destructs could convert all the planets affected into Neutral Meteors which is even more destructive than a normal self-destruct which leaves ownership intact. How would this affect Force Fields? One could have the Level 3 Effect Destroy all Force Fields it touches.
