I am grateful to Lyle Rapacki of SENTINEL INTELLIGENCE SERVICES, LLC for sending the following email and the link to the video. Lyle sends reports at times, and this one is front page news for Oath Keepers. I wrote back to Lyle to verify that he was the person in the phone conference with Representative Matt Shea and Sheriff Mack after Rep. Shea spoke in Spokane Valley, Washington on Saturday, December 20, 2014. Lyle verified that for me and sent a picture of himself I'll share with you. Here is what a good Oath Keeper looks like:
Lyle Rapacki of Sentinel Intelligence Services, LLC
Hundreds of citizens heard Matt Shea's speech while openly defying the militarization of their local Sheriff's Department. The specific focus was the now infamous and viral video of a Deputy Sheriff telling a citizen that the police department needed an military combat MRAP war machine because there were a lot of "Constitutionalists" with "guns" in Spokane Valley, Washington. This gathering was to formally and publicly let the Sheriff know that We The People aren't buying into the Govlish thinking behind the militarization of police. As Matt Shea notes in his speech, the attitude which this Deputy Sheriff has obviously been programmed, conditioned, trained, and pressured into holding as part of his professional mindset, (thanks to the SPLC of course) ain't gonna wash in Washington. It is an inspiring few minutes, and sends the message loudly and clearly across America - America is NOT going to stand still for tyranny's militarization of our local police under any federal program. Lyle's letter with the video link follows. Thanks again, Lyle, for sending this.
Salute!

BRIEFING CLASSIFICATION: PUBLIC DOMAIN MATERIAL – BUT PERSONAL COMMENTS AND SELECTIVELY DISTRIBUTED
BRIEFING LEVEL: Privately distributed
SUBJECT OF BRIEFING: Leadership at the local and State level
FOR YOUR ANALYSIS AND CONSIDERATION:
The video link below: Wash State Rep. Matt Shea demands apology after deputy says MRAP needed for gun owners
is a quick study of leadership by an elected official. The Great State
of Washington has a leader in Representative Shea, but he is more than a
public official. Matt is an attorney, and proudly served in our
military two tours of Iraq in military intelligence. Thoughtful,
studious, and passionate about a person’s freedom and the sovereignty of
a city, county, or state, Representative Shea is not about worrying
over his next election or committee assignment or building a resume.
Representative Shea knows the citizens of this Nation are in a war for
the very survival of our country, and the enemy is “behind the wire” and
determined to collapse this Republic we call home. I also know
Representative Shea personally, and call him “friend” and colleague, in
that, we both are working to preserve these exceptional United States.
Moments
after concluding his speech, which you will see below, Matt, Sheriff
Richard Mack, and I were on a conference call. One of the topics
discussed was rallying elected officials to stand against the growing
juggernaut which is the Federal Government and its many agencies. Since
the near disaster at Bundy Ranch almost a year ago, we are aware of a
growing list of elected officials who have come forward and placed their
responsibilities to their Oaths of Office and representation of
citizens first, and concerns with re-election a distant second. These
elected officials embrace the foundational concept: People are free and
equal, and they voluntarily transfer some of their rights via a social
contract to a government – mostly to protect them from violence, so they
may enjoy their freedoms and their lives. Government exists by the
consent of the people in order to protect the rights of the people, and
therefore, governments that fail to do so can be resisted and replaced
with new government. Listen to Representative Matt Shea speak truth and
speak as a leader. We need this in those we have elected to represent
us. American voters will trust a leader who believes in right and wrong
and acts on it, even at his own seeming expense. And the reverse is
also true: a leader must trust the American people, believing they are
both good and gifted, equal to almost any challenge thrown at them.
Politics
for those in office so they can remain and get internally promoted to
this coveted chairmanship of a committee, or the corner office, or
bigger title is crude and rude; we are losing our country and do not
need such office holders. We need leaders who are willing to publicly
place the people above themselves, above ideology, above political
agendas. We need leaders who will stand and speak straight with the
citizens, as you will see when you click on the below link and listen to
Representative Shea; leaders who will call-out those abusing their
positions of trust; those in public office who, for whatever reason,
have forgotten their Oaths of Office, much less that all positions of public trust
are but temporary, and an honor to hold – not a right. If your elected
official is not coming close to the ideals I have mentioned, or those
you will see and listen to then put them on notice! Enough! We are
losing our country and this is NOT a drill!!

We are in a battle for the hearts and minds of our own troops.
Oath Keepers is an association of currently serving military, veterans, and peace officers who will fulfill the oath we swore to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God.
Our oath is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and we will not obey unconstitutional (and thus illegal) and immoral orders, such as orders to disarm the American people or to place them under martial law and deprive them of their ancient right to jury trial.
We Oath Keepers have drawn a line in the sand. We will not “just follow orders."
Our motto is “Not on our watch!”
If you, the American people, are forced to once again fight for your liberty in another American Revolution, you will not be alone.We will stand with you.
There is at this time a debate within the ranks of the military regarding their oath.Some mistakenly believe they must follow any order the President issues.But you can rest assured that many others in the military do understand that their loyalty is to the Constitution, and understand what that means.
The mission of Oath Keepers is to vastly increase their numbers.We are in a battle for the hearts and minds of our own troops.To win that battle, Oath Keepers will use written and video testimony of active duty military, veterans (especially combat vets), and peace officers to reach, teach, and inspire our brothers in arms in the military and police to fulfill their oaths and stand as guardians of the Republic.
If you are currently in the military, are a veteran, or are a peace officer, please submit your written and/or video testimony on your oath, so you can help us win that battle for hearts and minds.Your submission may be anonymous.

DEDICATION:
This site is dedicated to the memory of John William Adams (1925-2006), Marine and Oath Keeper extraordinaire.
John Adams, at the age of 16, lied about his age to join the Marines so he could fight against Imperial Japan in the Pacific. His enlistment date was December 10, 1941, just three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor (see below). As a Marine rifleman, he fought the Japanese from island to island, across the pacific, including at Iwo Jima.We may have good men, but we never had better.
Until his death in 2006, he was a dedicated patriot who still took his oath to defend the Republic deadly serious. May God grant you the courage to do likewise.
John Adams, Enlistment Date December 10, 1941
Now that is what you call stepping up - but he was not alone. And neither are you.

In memory of that sixteen-year-old boy who went to war so long ago and saw things no sixteen year old should ever have to see, and in the hope that his service was not in vain, we dedicate this song:
THE MINSTREL BOY As Sung by the Late Joe Strummer
The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone In the ranks of death you will find him; His father's sword he hath girded on, And his wild harp slung behind him;" Land of Song!" said the warrior bard, "Tho' all the world betrays thee, One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard, One faithful harp shall praise thee!"
The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain Could not bring that proud soul under; The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again, For he tore its chords asunder; And said "No chains shall sully thee, Thou soul of love and brav'ry! Thy songs were made for the pure and free, They shall never sound in slavery!"
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force: Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.” – Patrick Henry.
