Before going to the National Independent American Party Website, we ask that you read the following 450-word article that the Post Register in Idaho Falls was set to print, until they read it (The Standard Journal in Pocatello DID print it Friday, June 18^th, 2010). Below is a Solemn Proclamation put out by the Independent American Party in Idaho.

“These are the times that try men’s souls…” Thomas Paine in his pamphlet “The Crisis”, 1776

V for Violence

“Remember, remember the 5th of November, the gunpowder treason and plot.  I see of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot”.

Based on a real event which took place on Nov. 5th, 1605, the opening lines of the Hollywood thriller 'V for Vendetta' are memorable.  As is the movie's poster slogan taken from a quote by Thomas Jefferson "People shouldn't be afraid of their governments.  Governments should be afraid of their people."  Yet when one studies and discerns the history of governments, it's apparent the word "vendetta" is too tame.

That history always repeats itself is not known only to those who know not history.  Hence, predicting the future of governments with accompanying levels of tyranny and slavery is not arduous.  George Mason University professor Walter E. Williams' forward to Frederic Bastiat's masterpiece "The Law: Classic Blueprint for a Free Society" intelligently states:

"Mankind's history is one of systematic, arbitrary abuse and control by the elite acting privately, through the church, but mostly through government.  It is a tragic history where hundreds of millions of unfortunate souls have been slaughtered, mostly by their own governments.  A historian writing 200 or 300 years from now might view the liberties that existed for a tiny portion of mankinds' population (America) for only a tiny portion of it’s history, as a historical curiosity that defies explanation.  But it was only a temporary phenomenon since mankind reverted back to the traditional state of arbitrary control and abuse."

It was Thomas Jefferson who stated "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."  Yet without forthcoming, God-fearing patriots in Idaho, our blood won't have the honor of being spilled at all.

This day, today, is more accurately Nov. 13th, 1765, the day when the writings of Samuel Adams broached, for the first time, a decisive break between the 13 colonies and Great Britain— Independence!  Independence and freedom from unjust taxes, laws, and oppression did miraculously come, but not fully until 24 years, and much spilled blood later.  Yet those 24 years yielded something historically unparalled, an outlier in the history of governments, a truly free republic!

"Oh, what a glorious morning this is!" exclaimed Samuel Adams to fellow Founder John Hancock, both hiding in a church from searching British troops.  The date was April 19th, 1775 and the shots at Lexington and Concord initiating the Revolutionary War was heard "'round the world."  New England, and particularly Massachusetts, where Adams and Hancock hailed from, led the struggle for liberty.

Today Idaho is the Massachusetts of that day.  Let examples of patriots be found here!  We are a sovereign state, and an example has been established for all of time.  Voices of dead patriots are louder than anything from Idaho's current political leaders—AND future leaders unless their principles, thoughts, passions, and examples are pure, as was our Founders. True patriots don't compromise, and will gladly sacrifice the immediate for the eventual; the promise of today for the promise of forever.

To you who believe all is well with our current government, I echo sentiments from Thomas Paine's 1776 pamphlet 'Common Sense' "...as a man who is attached to a prostitute, and is thus unfit to judge a wife, so any prepossession in favor of a rotten government will disable us from discerning a good one." Who are we in Idaho "attached" to?

Patriots are peacekeepers of now through the distant future. Peacekeepers with weapons and ammo, and perhaps as in 1775 Boston, gunpowder beneath church pulpits! Idahoans, your most treasured act of patriotism is to value the wheel that has already been invented. Fear God and prepare for the 24 years ahead. They will mean everything!
