After further research, I am sorry to say that in my opinion Colonel Harry Riley is attempting a military coup. In interviews I have read or heard, Riley says that while violence is not a preferred option, he intends to use it if his list of elected officials do not resign, surrender and submit to a trial by a court of his choosing.

I really don’t want to believe this of Colonel Riley as I have the highest respect for fellow vets. I took a lot of personal time to weed out the biased reporting and came to my conclusion by what was stated directly by him.

Riley states that the Egypt’s Arab spring movement is his model for leading a second American revolution. I believe whatever you think is wrong with the U.S. it will be much worse when our country is governed by a few rouge military officers and their militias as has transpired in Egypt.

All I have to say is it is sad for me to think that many frustrated and well meaning “patriots” are being duped and used and it won’t end well as they become domestic terrorist.

I feel I learned a lot in this short time from many of you in this forum and I thank you for sharing your perspectives. However, I think this forum has crossed a line for me morally and ethically. I will not participate in a place that allows an organization to recruit and promote the militant overthrow of our country. I promised to serve and protect our country and unlike Colonel Harry Riley, that doesn’t stop just because I’ve become a civilian and I’m unhappy with the current legal elected officials. Wish you and our country well. God Bless American

If that is the way he carries his weapon he is not coming home either. There is no way to fire his weapons with the ammo belt wrapped around it. Looks cool but will not shoot.


This photo of my son was taken in Afghanistan during his first tour of duty, despite his inexperience and the enemies resolve to kill him, he made it home alive. He lost a""brother" in combat. My son was injured during a fire fight. It changed him.

He has trained very hard physically and mentally to prepare for his second tour. Left last week. This time he has more responsibility and his job is to lead his team in combat and bring them home alive.

My personal opinion is his job is more dangerous because the enemy knows we have domestic militants organizing to shut our country down in Operation American Spring. I think this emboldens the Taliban and it makes our soldiers work harder and more dangerous abroad. The sad thing is all he wants to do is make our country safer. He has a new wife and baby back home he'll want to come home to protect them should this "operation" be successful. He will have to put aside his wants and needs and finish his mission as our country needs him where he is now.

That' s all.

I have gone to OAS2014.org as well as many other websites and blogs and I am concerned. I've said all I'm going to say about this. You of course are free to choose what you want to do as I am to share my opinion until something radical changes this.

Yep you are recruiting for a Terrorist group that has already fired on American soldiers.

"Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.

Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.

Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.

During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists.

Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange."

Also if you do your homework you will know this group has been already co-opted and its message has been distorted by fringe elements on both the right and left. Perhaps your intent is good, 2nd Amendment rights, but this "protest" is nothing but trouble.

Just one other thing ART i do not like being threatened..


If your demonstration is peaceful,(suggest you change your name to be sure) you have nothing to worry about. Do your thing, get your message out, be safe.

Never meant to threaten you, just stated a fact. Terrorist foreign or domestic who harm Americans can run but they can't hide. Just remember Bin Laden and tell me it won't happen to you if you cause American Blood to be spilled.

I'm a Vet, my son is a soldier. It is in our blood to keep our country safe from terrorist. If you are not a Terrorist, we will risk our life to protect you. I am clear that I'm on America's side, are you?

Yes you did miss something. Your very name suggests violence to overthrown our country. Arab Spring was series of violent anti government uprisings in various countries in North Africa and the Middle East that brought misery and instability and many innocent civilian deaths. "Operation" is often used for a planed military assault.

You can put your own BS disclaimers that your intent is peaceful, but your name says it all and if you are a participate and things go wrong, you have become a domestic terrorist.

I've participated in local demonstrations and the cause was our title. No one got hurt and our message was heard without violence.

You want a peaceful demonstrate? Change your name or you are going to attract domestic and foreign terrorists who will infiltrate your "Operation" and take over your peaceful demonstration.

Worse case scenario because of the violence, you will have Russia in our business and in our country, just like we are doing in Ukraine.

Sorry my son won't be there to greet you, but he left for Afghanistan on an operation to fight terrorist in another country. Plenty of his brothers in arm left here at home though.

Republicans are making some gains in the polls and now you guys are going to F thinks up? If you start a war, just know there won't be a place you can hide and you will die .

Don't you think there are very good reasons why the half breeds numbers are so low? White America may someday realize that no matter how long you send an ethiopian, half breed muslim to school - the only thing they really learn is that there are free lunch's and time to sleep. Harvard must be one of the most gracious and underachieving universities in the country to allow such an idiot to receive a "degree in community planning". If history repeats itself, and it normally does, it won't take much longer for Washington DC to be a 100% ghetto - that's what always happens when the ethiopians move in. Broken windows, graffiti on every building, wine bottles on the streets, chicken bones on the sidewalks, watermelon seeds and rines everywhere, bathtubs full of charcoal and ribs, shelves full of deodorent, and jails full of "community destroyers" - THE GHETTOS. Am I a racist? Not necessarily, but I am prejudice against racist ethiopians and they are the most racist group of animals in any society - hell, I'd be pissed off too if I looked like those animals. Can you imagine waking up in a trash can every morning and looking into the lid's mirror and seeing such an ugly, stinking ape. I'd hate the whole world for making me look like that - it's no wonder ethiopian men abandon their females after breeding them over and over, but never claiming responsibility for any new apes.

Have you seen Obama’s poll numbers? They are among the lowest in history. As of today, Obama’s approval rating is at 38%. That’s just barely above Richard Nixon.

Keep in mind Obama has the support of about 35% to 40% of the American population that will NEVER abandon him, no matter what he does, no matter how bad the jobs numbers look, no matter how low the economy goes, no matter how much scandal and corruption is exposed, no matter how strong the facts are against him.

Nothing will ever change their minds. These are the “low information voters” of the Democratic Party.

Among the white middle class, I’m betting Obama’s ratings are in the single digits. Or lower.

So just think about that for a moment. Let those numbers sink in. If 35% to 40% of the population would support a Democrat for president if he ran from a prison cell … if 35% to 40% would support Obama no matter what he does, no matter how far America sinks under his leadership, how could Obama’s approval rating be at only 38%?

That means that among the rest of America, outside of loyal, lifelong, Kool-Aid drinking Democrats, Obama's ratings are nil. Among non-partisan voters, he is the lowest-rated president in history. No numbers like this have ever been recorded, if you filter out the crazies.

Obama's approval among “the Heartland of America” (non-partisan middle class Americans) is lower than Nixon.

Lower than George W. Bush.

Lower than Lyndon Johnson at the height of the Vietnam war.

Lower than Jimmy Carter at the height of the Iranian hostage crisis, with the added burden of an economy in misery and malaise.

I’m betting that outside of lifelong Democrats, Obama's ratings are in the unimaginable range of single digits.

Among the white middle class, I’m betting Obama’s ratings are in the single digits. Or lower.

Keep in mind many of the white middle class originally voted for Obama.

Among those that actually own small businesses, pay most of the taxes and create most of the jobs, I'm betting Obama's ratings are in the vicinity of ZERO.

Actually if you take the white middle class and subtract out a few Ivy League intellectuals, Hollywood liberals, and pathetic Upper West Side Democratic zombies, there isn’t an Obama supporter left in America.

Remember that about 47% of Americans get entitlement checks from government. Obama is PAYING for their support and he still only has 38% approval. You know you're unpopular when even bribes don't work anymore!

This man has managed to pull off something remarkable and historical -- he has alienated almost every single American who actually works for a living and pays taxes.

He has virtually zero support among the 53% who aren't getting a check from government. You can't find another instance of that in the history of American politics.

Obama is amazing!

I agree with Fom that Poll numbers go up and down.
I’d be interested in knowing what poll statistics you used and when they were taken. I’m always looking for new poll sources. I looked at the Rasmussen Daily Poll Reports from time to time and check in. One new poll I found is where some Americans see the Tea Party to be as bigger danger than radical Muslims This is todays Polls 3-9-14.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 46% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Obama's job performance. Fifty-two percent (52%) disapprove.

Yes they do! However, we create them ourselves in Addictions. So many times when people feel helpless against dysfunctional or abusive forces around them, they also don't know how to cope or deal with it so they find and escape, and become addicted.
Also, recreation drinking and drugs can become very addicting to some youths as they play and experiment with them.

When asking an addicted person 'why' they do it: you will hear that demon began to speak, cry, and whine as to what is behind it they are helpless to, the problemed reason they do it, or just angrily tell you that they like it. Push them to much on the issue, and they will likely yell loudly in your face, or even try to fight you.

I think a lot of us are addicted or spend a lot of time on this forum, does that count as demon possession?

A while later, the Nevadan pulled out a bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. He opened it, took a sip, took another sip, then chugged the rest. He then put the bottle back in his saddlebag, pulled out his gun, turned, and shot the Californian. The shocked Texan said "Why in the hell did you do that?"

Facebook Is About to Lose 80% of Its Users, Study Says
Sam Frizell Jan. 21, 2014

Social media is like a disease that spreads, and then dies

Facebook’s growth will eventually come to a quick end, much like an infectious disease that spreads rapidly and suddenly dies, say Princeton researchers who are using diseases to model the life cycles of social media.
http://time.com/1405/facebook-is-about-to-lose-80-of-its-users-study-says/


For me I find anything using mathematical formulas to predict outcomes interesting and thank you for bringing this study up. My Dad was a Physicist. He would come home from work when I was in High School and if I claimed to be done with homework, he would challenge me with some new equation which at first bothered me to no end. Today I wish he was here now so we could go over the controversial Epidemiological modeling of online social network dynamics. He passed away 5 years ago.

I’m sure that there will be those who argue that users dependent or addicted to Facebook or other OSNs do not have a disease, but a character flaw. Whatever it is, I sure I am on the 1PP a lot more than I should be. If Princeton’s is right about its theory, this forum will die off long before I am ready for it to go away.

This application of the classical SIR model for the spread of infectious disease theory to predict the demise of the very popular Facebook has brought about much discussion and emotion from techs and fans of Facebook. Some Academies say the calculations Princeton are correct, however, the use of Google search data to predict engagement trends, instead of studying the actual engagement trends is a flawed methodology. In in other words, the old computer adage applies here, “Garbage in Garbage out” (GIGO).

I have a link below of one of the many rebuttals to this theory I found on line including Facebook’s parody response to the study.
