FEAR FACTOR ~ Guest Editorial

This is our second guest editorial by Flotsam Jetsome whose editorials should stopped being called "guest" - I guess - because he's definitely "on the inside". This brilliant call-to-arms reaffirms that we have nothing to fear but fear itself. Please read it, and take his important advice.

Fear Factor

By Flotsam Jetsome

I remember the day when I decided to "seed" copies of Jerome Corsi's book "Where's the Birth Certificate". It was late May of this year, 2011, and I had just finished reading my pre-ordered copy ordered from Amazon. I was freshly livid over having read the revelations contained in that volume, and as luck would have it, ran across some guy posting on another internet site talking about leaving copies of the book laying around in public places for as-yet uneducated folks to discover. "Pure brilliance", I thought, and immediately went to my local bookstore and purchased five more copies. Thus my work as a conservative "subversive" began.

I took each of those initial six books (there have been more, since), including the one that I had originally ordered, and wrote on the inside cover  of each "This book is free to anyone who cares about the truth and in the sanctity of our Constitution. All I ask is that it be passed on to others who don't yet know that this is going on." With that, I set out and began depositing them at different places in my community. The first was tucked into the magazine rack of a crowded reception area at the family practice clinic of a local hospital. I was scared, as unbelievable as that may sound. I knew on an intellectual level that the apprehension I felt was irrational. America is a free country, right? I wasn't breaking any laws by placing the tome where I did, and yet I couldn't escape the feeling that what I was doing would somehow prompt immediate retaliation. I imagined, only halfway in jest, that as soon as the book left my hand, another person's hand would clamp itself down on my shoulder and ask me just what I thought I was doing. It didn't make sense, but knowing so didn't dispel the nervousness I felt, either. The "seeding" of tomes I placed after that was psychologically easier to accomplish, and I managed to disperse the remainder in less than an hour, including at such varied locations as on a bus, in a restaurant waiting area and in a hotel lobby, among others.

I've since moved on to annotating currency (writing on money, for Rio Linda inhabitants ~ PG) with the remark that "Obama's Birth Certificate is Fake" affixed, and with each note that I insert into the currency stream containing the message that the man occupying the Oval Office is a fraud who has posted on White House computer servers a complete fabrication of what is purported to be a genuine copy of a Certificate of Live Birth, my nervousness ebbs. There are several reasons for this, and first and foremost among them is that I have become more comfortable with the fact that it is not illegal to mark currency, so long as the money  has not been rendered unusable due to such marking. I can also say from personal experience that there are very few cashiers in America who would make an issue out of getting handed dollars that have been marked with the fake birth certificate message. Most don't even look closely enough at the money to remark upon it's annotated state, and as for the ones that do, I've found them to be curious, rather than indignant. And for the cagey patriot, there's the sneak delivery method. For those who wish to insert annotated money into the cash stream undetected, you can do what I do when presenting multiple bills: stamp a given number of notes with the message on the front, but for the top bill in the collection that is being handed over to the money handler, stamp that one on the back. When a group of four, five or more bills, especially ones of the same denomination are presented spread out "poker hand" style, the money handler almost never looks at the fronts of the notes that lay beneath the top one. They just see that there are the requisite number of "ones", and slip them into the register without another thought. It works. I see the same reaction (none) time and time again.

As The picture says, this is legal

The upshot of all of the foregoing is to point out that fear of reprisal, where annotation of money is concerned, is unfounded. There are no teams of Black Helicopter Dudes waiting to pounce upon the unwitting patriot stamper of money. We needn't  be fooled by the Obots' obfuscations, and likewise we needn't be cowed by threat of retaliation by fools who think that their temporary, illegal hold on power confers upon them the ability to subjugate the larger citizenry of a still-free country with impunity. No, our answer, rather than cowering in abject terror at the thought of jack-booted OThugs paying us a visit,  should instead be to leap boldly into the fray. The more of us that are in the intellectual trenches, the less effective the speech-suppressing artillery of the usurper's minions. There is indeed strength in numbers, and we should play to that strength.


I've stepped forward to fight for the integrity of our Constitution in the real world on a daily basis. Can you say the same?

If not you, who? If not now, when?
