Today I received a phone call. It was collect, but, as
soon as I heard the operator, I knew that it was a call
that I have been waiting for. I had been trying to get
word in to the Lee County Jail so as to find out what had
occurred just a few weeks ago. After all of this time,
the prayers and thinking, worrying about them, I had
finally heard from Lynda Lyon.
Regarding this story, it had been pieced together from
sources that have all been through the filter known as
law enforcement (not to be confused with peace officers)
and has been filtered about as much as the information
that flowed across media airwaves, out of Waco, Texas,
during March and April of this year.
The report you are about to read is not inconsistent
with what had previously been presented, but you will
find that certain aspects now have details which would
indicate a different scenario than before. There was no
"domestic" call, nor was there justification to
claim that any lawful call had been put out. George had
been sitting in his car with their son. Lynda was making
a phone call. The officer approached George, who was not
driving, traveling, or anything but sitting in a car
which had plates that said, "UCC 1-207". The
officer refused to listen to George explain that he was
under no contract, as a free Citizen of Florida, to have
to produce a license in Alabama. The officer refused to
even look at the paperwork that George had, explaining
that there was no lawful requirement to produce a license
for traveling on the roadways. The officer then informed
George, without benefit of George submitting the
evidence, that he was under arrest. George was being
denied his freedom by the actions of an officer that was
not even assigned to traffic (a supply officer) but felt
qualified to deny a free man his freedom without
investigating the matter. George got out of the car, and
then balked. The officer reached for his gun but George
was a bit quicker. George and Lynda were defending their
rights, as guaranteed by the Constitution, and did not
allow the officer to deny them their freedom.
Charlie Reese wrote an editorial a few months ago. In
that piece he pointed out that we are becoming a nation
where more and more crimes are committed by government
under the guise of preventing crime on us (look at the
statistics and see if it is working). He stated that
police crime in this country is at an all time high. This
is the criteria that is existent whenever people begin to
loose their freedoms. As he said, "Government crime
is becoming more prevalent."
What George and Lynda did is not much different than
what David Koresh and the Branch Davidians did eight
months ago. David's actions were in defense of every door
in America that can be broken down ANY TIME! George and
Lynda's actions were to deny "law enforcement"
from stealing your rights to travel freely in this
country.
I don't want to say, "let this be a lesson",
to "law enforcement". However, I do want to say
that there are many in this country who have studied our
history and know what was intended. They have begun to
stand up for those rights in Idaho, Texas and now in
Alabama. Perhaps there is hope that we can regain the
liberties and freedoms that are our birthright.
