From "The Dry Tortugas"; the entire 5 star book is available at Amazon.

Stan Sage, a retired army major, stood behind the podium, a newspaper and the Bible in front of him, a bottle of water to the side. He asked the audience to bear with him as he put on glasses. He fumbled through papers until he found the Declaration of Independence. Then he read it to the Oath Keepers of Springfield, Missouri.

“It says, ‘We,’ ladies and gentlemen. ‘We’ is us. The American people. Not the jerks in Washington, D.C.”

Sage led the audience through government, democracy, upbringing of children, World Trade towers, what really happened on 9/11 that nobody but Sage knows. Displaying a Chinese weapons facility on the screen behind him, Sage told his audience that Armageddon would be three battles. In the first battle, Russia invades Israel. The Israelis beat the Russians back to Siberia.

“Where is the proof? Psalms 83. I will read it to you. ‘They lay crafty plans against thy people; they consult together against thy protected ones. They say, ‘Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!’” Sage looked up at his audience. “It is written in the Bible. Amen.

“Now there is a second battle. This is with the King of the EastChina. A road starts in China and ends at the mouth of the Euphrates River. The army that is going to invade Israel with two hundred million men will take that road. In the third battle, God comes back and kills everyone.”

Sage shared some bits of factual information with his audience. “While we sit on our asses awaiting the attack on Israel, do you know what we are doing for the Chinese? The United States is shipping all the wild horses of the American West to China? That’s right. For the past decade, we’ve been sending them our wild horses. Did you know that? For what? Our heritage. To China. Why?”

Sage warned his audience that the demise of America was prompted in part by the previous president.

“For one thing, he is a Muslim and an illegal alien, and I have proof.”

Sage reminded his audience he had rented a Learjet and gone to Kenya to get answers. His proof that Obama was an illegal alien was a slide showing Sage standing in front of a Kenya immigration sign. Using a laser, he pointed to the word “Kenya.” “See? I went there. Let no one deny it. Proof Obama is an illegal alien.”

Sage warned that the collapse of the Unites States is imminent, and Christians should be doing everything possible to prevent it. But the damage from eight years of a Muslim president is hard to overcome, even for a Christian like Trump.

“Our new president is committed to returning American values. He’s a champion of Jesus Christ, but we must all fight. I’m ready to fight and I don’t mean argue. Jesus Christ is my savior and I am a killer. I’ve killed a lot of people in Viet Nam and elsewhere, and if I have to, I’ll kill a lot more. If you don’t want to get killed, don’t get in front of me because I will kill you. God did not make me a coward.”

Sage motioned for his son to join him at the podium. “Come on up here, Wayne. Don’t be shy.” Sage walked in front of the podium and put his hand on Wayne’s shoulder. “This is my boy, Wayne. I bring him up in a Christian way. But the government wants to erase the Christian values from this boy’s mind and from the mind of every young person in this country. They are going to put him and every other child in this country into indoctrination camps. It’s happening now but it’s going to get worse. And you want to know the truth? There’s not much we can do about it. We’ve let it go on too long. But we’re going to fight, to kill if we have to.”

Sage ended his speech with a plea for people to get involved. Vote for Christian leaders. Vote for leaders of courage. Save children like Wayne from indoctrination camps. It’s a fifty-year battle and many of us won’t survive it but we’ve got to fight. Get ready for war.”

Sage departed the podium to sporadic applause. He led Wayne through the audience, through handshakes and words of encouragement, to the car. He returned the boy to his mother. “He knows his mission,” Sage said. “He’s ready to fight.”

Those were the last words Mary Jo Sage heard from her husband. She was too traditional a woman to rejoice.

Oath Keeper Affiliates Charged in Superseding Indictment for Conspiracy Leading to the U.S. Capitol Attack

Joshua James and Roberto Minuta are the Latest Individuals to be Indicted for Conspiracy to Obstruct Congress on Jan. 6, 2021

Note: A full copy of the indictment can be viewed here.

WASHINGTON — Two individuals associated with the Oath Keepers, a large but loosely organized collection of individuals who explicitly focus on the recruitment of current and former military, law enforcement and first responder personnel, were indicted yesterday in federal court in the District of Columbia for conspiring to obstruct Congress, among other charges. James and Minuta are the 11th and 12th defendants to be charged in this case.

Joshua James, 33, of Arab, Alabama, was arrested on March 9, 2021 in Arab, Alabama; and Roberto Minuta, 36, of Prosper, Texas, was arrested on March 7, 2021, in Newburgh, New York. Both individuals were charged by superseding indictment with conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, and entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds. If convicted, James and Minuta each face a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

According to the charging documents, James and Minuta communicated with co-conspirators in advance of the Jan. 6, 2021, incursion on the U.S. Capitol. The indictment alleges frequent and consistent communication leading up to the attack, such as in reserving hotel rooms and making phone calls to co-conspirators the morning of the breach.

According to the indictment, in response to a call for individuals to head to the Capitol after the building was breached, James and Minuta drove to the Capitol in a golf cart, at times swerving around law enforcement vehicles with Minuta stating, “Patriots are storming the Capitol…so we’re en route in a grand theft auto golf cart to the Capitol building right now…it’s going down guys; it’s literally going down right now Patriots storming the Capitol building…”

Once they arrived, Minuta aggressively berated and taunted law enforcement officers in riot gear guarding the perimeter of the Capitol near the East side of the building. At 3:15 p.m., Minuta and James forcibly entered the Capitol building through the same east side Rotunda doors through which their alleged co-conspirators had entered earlier.

They then stormed the building, wearing military gear.  Minuta additionally wore hard-knuckle tactical gloves, ballistic goggles, a radio with an earpiece and bear spray. Video captures Minuta yelling at an officer: “All that’s left is the Second Amendment!” as he exited the building at 3:19 p.m. Not long after 4:00 p.m., individuals who breached the Capitol – including James, Minuta and many of their alleged co-conspirators – gathered together approximately 100 feet from the Capitol near the northeast corner of the building.

The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice’s National Security Division, Counterterrorism Section. Valuable assistance was provided by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices for the Southern District of New York, Eastern District of Texas and Northern District of Alabama. The case is being investigated by the FBI’s New York, Dallas, Birmingham and Washington Field Offices.

The charges contained in the complaint are allegations. The defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
