ALL PATRIOTS SHOULD READ AND SHARE THESE WORDS
Saturday, March 6th, 2010What follows is a chapter from Behold A Pale Horse, by William Cooper, who gave his life in the name of truth and freedom.
EVERYONE WHO LOVES FREEDOM SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!!! IT IS STILL THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK IN THE FREEDOM AND RESTORATION MOVEMENT!! THE LESSONS STILL HOLD GREAT VALUE FOR THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE!! MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY PROTEST, MORE ANSWERS THAN QUESTIONS, AND A GUIDE TO STRENTHEN THE CAUSE AND UNDERSTAND THE OPPOSITION!!
CHAPTER 10
LESSONS
FROM
LITHUANIA
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a
free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall
not be infringed.
AMENDMENT II
Constitution of the U.S.
I know not what others may do. But as for me,
give me liberty or give me death.
Patrick Henry
EXPLANATION
I had intended to write a long and thoroughly referenced chapter on
the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, the right of the
people to keep and bear arms.
I had to eat humble pie when I read the following text entitled "Lessons
from Lithuania” by Neal Knox. It was contributed by a member of the
Citizens Agency for Joint Intelligence. I was impressed by its simplicity
and ability to deliver with very few words the precise message that I had
intended to convey in twenty pages. Since I believe that sometimes less is
more, and since my ego has nothing to do with this book and its message,
"Lessons from Lithuania" has been printed in its entirety, with no changes,
as the complete chapter on the Second Amendment. Try as I might, I could
never improve upon Neal’s simple statement.
My deepest appreciation to Neal Knox and The Firearms Coalition for
permission to use "Lessons from Lithuania."
LESSONS FROM LITHUANIA
by Neal Knox
Those who avoid and evade the reason for the Second Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution would surely admit that if Lithuania had a Second
Amendment, Mikhail Gorbachev violated it on March 22,1990 — Russian
troops seized arms from the Lithuanian militia. Or was "the right of the
people to keep and bear arms" actually violated two days earlier, when
Premier Gorbachev ordered private citizens to turn in their hunting and
competition guns to the Russian army within one week "for temporary
safekeeping" or have them confiscated and their owners imprisoned? Or
was "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" initially violated many
years before, when the people were first prohibited from possessing guns
without permission of government and laws were passed requiring every
gun to be registered? In fact, the Soviet Constitution guarantees the people
the right to keep and bear arms, and Lithuania is part of the Soviet Union
— or so Gorbachev contends. But obviously the Soviet government pays
no more attention to that constitutional freedom guarantee than do the
majority of the U.S. government, the International Association of Chiefs of
Police, or CBS and the Washington Post. What is the difference, precisely,
between the confiscation of private firearms in Lithuania and the confiscation
ordered by S. 166, the Graves bill now pending in the New Jersey
Senate? What is the difference, precisely, between the registration law in
Lithuania — which makes confiscation possible — and the registration of
military-style firearms required by California’s Roberti-Roos bill, which
went into effect January 1,1990. What is the difference, precisely, between
Lithuania’s law prohibiting the people from owning military-style firearms
and the so-called "assault rifle" bans now pending in both houses of
Congress and in many states? The difference is that the people of the
United States are free men and women who can trust their benevolent
government. FOREVER?
NOTE: Nothing has so clearly demonstrated the reasons for the Second
Amendment and the reasons it must be defended than when on Dec. 14,1981,
when Gen. Jaruzelski declared martial law in Poland, placed all press under total
government control, and declared all firearms licenses and gun registration certificates
void — requiring the licensed owners to turn in their registered guns within
48 hours. Of course, since the government knew where every gun was — except
those in the hands of criminals — they had no choice but to comply.

— putting your name on it if you think it will cause more letters
editors to run it. Also please upload it to as many other bulletin boards and
nets as possible.

Author’s Note: This is a lesson that we hope to learn only from reading and
not in the manner learned by the Poles and Lithuanians. After reading the
above, I hope you will agree with me that anyone who attempts to subvert the
Second Amendment or any other section or legal amendment of the Constitution
is a traitor and should be arrested and tried for treason. I hope that you
will copy this chapter and distribute it as widely as possible, to as many
people as possible. Education is more than half the battle.
In case you have not guessed by now, the fact that most Americans own at
least one firearms weapon is the only thing that has kept the New World
Order at bay.
A Ray of Hope: As of January 8, 1991, less than 10% of all California gun
owners have registered their firearms. Many Californians stood in the streets
with weapons in hand and publicly burned the registration forms. Network
news did not cover these demonstrations, and no mention has been made on
television that California gun owners have ignored this unconstitutional gunregistration
law.
