Count me in as an Oath Keeper.

I committed to the oath five times while serving my country and never felt that it didn't apply to me as a private citizen. Upon retiring from the U.S. Navy I had more time available to become a better informed and engaged citizen in this blessed experiment of "self-government" provided by our inspired Founders. This lead to a renewed search for truth, and began a process of self-education involving the Constitution and the principles of good government.

Some of the issues I studied were on the Dark Side: the Randy Weaver case, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the Branch-Davidian Massacre, the deception behind the United Nations, the Federal Reserve Act, the Bilderberg Group, the Tri-Lateral Commission, The Council on Foreign Relations, The Royal Institute for International Affairs, The Skull and Bones Society, The Bohemian Club, the JFK assassination and the resulting Warren Commission cover-up, and the 9/11 Commission white-washing to name a "few".

On the Light Side (as in "Truth and Light"): I found the John Birch Society, Ezra Taft Benson, Jews for the Preservation of Gun Ownership (JPFO), The Gunowners of America, Boston T. Party (Kenneth Royce), Bill Cooper, Michael New, Devvy Kidd, Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr., W. Cleon Skousen, Pastor Chuck Baldwin, Alex Jones, Ron Paul and the Campaign for Liberty, AZ state legislator Karen Johnson, and many more people who were engaged in fighting for the cause of liberty.

However, in the back of my mind one element seemed missing, yet I couldn't identify it until I heard about a group that expressed the term.... OATH KEEPERS!

To all the Oath Keepers I say, "Be courageous. Be true to yourself. Stay the course."

The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us.

USN, retired

Active Duty Aviation Ordnanceman 2nd Class is an Oath Keeper

My name is AO2(AW) Thibodeau, Philip D.

I am unafraid coming out to my fellow brothers and sisters that I am a OathKeeper, it is illegal to protest while in the military in and out of uniform, this I know. OathKeepers are not Protesters but rather speakers of truth against unlawful orders that MAY be handed down. I also can't get in trouble for something I haven't even failed to do as ordered.

I joined the Navy on 25AUG99, I am from Waterford MI and went in as soon as I graduated from HS. I did three tours aboard the Aircraft Carriers, Lincoln 99-01(West Pac 00), Ronald Reagan 01-05(SA Round the Horn, Plankowner), Roosevelt 05-08(Med Cruise 06 OIF 3). And now I am in NMC Conus West Det Fallon.

I dealt with all aspects of Bombs and Missiles; Building,Breakout,

Repair of Bomb Racks and Launchers and Support Equipment.

I first found out about the OathKeepers from a radio show I listen to everyday. Mr. Rhodes was on Alex Jones and I really connected with his words of wisdom.

I love my country that's why I joined almost 10 yrs ago at the end of this Aug. But Loving your country and the people you serve is one thing. However I took my oath to obey the President of the United States no where in the oath does it say I have to like or even respect our leader. To know and see the things that Bush and Obama have done to this country makes me sick, i.e. CFR, Bilderburg Group,Trilateral Commission, Bohemian Grove.

I not only believe that our 10 oaths are true I believe they will be put to the test quite literally. I have until 25MAY11 then my enlistment is up then I will be getting out to hopefully go in to law enforcement or security. its one thing to say you will not follow the illegal and unconstitutional orders that will come down the chain, and still be in when they do. I do not want to be in the Navy when that happens.
