In order to be prepared for and to effectively resist the coming crises, you must understand your enemy and what is happening around you. Further, you must find common cause and unite against tyranny. The Rutherford Institute has been successfully fighting many of these constitutional battles in the courts on all of our behalf for some time. This hasn’t been free and John Whitehead has dedicated a considerable amount of his own time and money to this cause. I ask you today to support John and his organization as a true modern day American hero and buy his book. I am confident the information will be valuable and the money you spent will be supporting our cause. Please note that neither John nor the Rutherford Institute in any way asked me to endorse their organization and there is no need. John has proven through action that is a man living by a higher calling and demonstrated at great personal risk he is a champion of freedom and liberty and for that he has my support.
Sincerely,
Guiles Hendrik

“A government which will turn its tanks upon its people, for any reason, is a government with a taste of blood and a thirst for power and must either be smartly rebuked, or blindly obeyed in deadly fear.”—John Salter
We have entered into a particularly dismal chapter in the American narrative, one that shifts us from a swashbuckling tale of adventure into a bone-chilling horror story.
As I document in my new book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, “we the people” have now come full circle, from being held captive by the British police state to being held captive by the American police state. In between, we have charted a course from revolutionaries fighting for our independence and a free people establishing a new nation to pioneers and explorers, braving the wilderness and expanding into new territories.
Where we went wrong, however, was in allowing ourselves to become enthralled with and then held hostage by a military empire in bondage to a corporate state (the very definition of fascism). No longer would America hold the moral high ground as a champion of freedom and human rights. Instead, in the pursuit of profit, our overlords succumbed to greed, took pleasure in inflicting pain, exported torture, and imported the machinery of war, transforming the American landscape into a battlefield, complete with military personnel, tactics and weaponry.
To our dismay, we now find ourselves scrambling for a foothold as our once rock-solid constitutional foundation crumbles beneath us. And no longer can we rely on the president, Congress, the courts, or the police to protect us from wrongdoing.
Indeed, they have come to embody all that is wrong with America. Read more
