There are times then I find it worthwhile to republish an old column that I wrote – back a long time ago. Why? To show off? NO – to show that little has changed in this nation or around the world. It has only gotten worse.

What you are about to read is quite dated – but it shows that we are living in circles these days. I will assume that I wrote and posted this piece nearly 20 years ago on the first generation Federal Observer. Tell me what has changed! ~ Jeffrey Bennett, Editor

Can you explain this to me? As I rocked my granddaughter to sleep the other night, I wept for this little girl. Second thoughts anyone? No child of any deserves this!

The following email was received by The Federal Observer in response to a picture depicting a dead child, mutilated, with her foot dangling… Continue reading →

The man shows and sings more emotion in his words as he ages, but this song by Tom Jones says volumes about how I am feeling these days. ~ Jeffrey

Thirty plus years for FREEDOM.

December 3, 2013 ~ This is what I have given my life for this past nearly three decades, and yet today I feel more enslaved that at any time in my life. Each day since June of 1995 I have awakened each day with intent and purpose – to teach, inform and educate the American public of that which we face today under the thumbnail of the Obamanites and their ruthless tyranny – and today I am more enslaved that at any time during my nearly sixty-six years on this earth.

Mind you – I lay the blame, not entirely at the hands of our former Tyrant, Barack Obama – for he is just a symptom of what is lacking in this country. He was chosen as ‘the ONE‘ who was best suited to lead this nation smack-dab into Socialism – albeit – the final nail into the coffin of what was once known as ‘America’ – the greatest experiment in Democracy ever known to exist.

Since the inception of Federal Observer in July of 2001, and what eventually became Kettle Moraine Precious Metals (NOW Sierra Madre Precious Metals) some years later – this world has changed – and not for the better. This nation has changed – not for the better. The people of the united States have changed – also – not for the better. What? You actually thought that Hillary not being allowed access to the Oval Office was cause for celebration? Well, yeah – in and of itself – it was – BUT we are living in even greater daily turmoil today that at any time that I can remember in my seven-plus decades of life. And hey – what about the Sniffy Scarecrow-In-Chief – the guy without a brain? Continue reading →

April 21, 2009 – You spend your entire adult life living life the right way. You buy a car on ‘time’, you pay your debt. You get retail store credit cards, such as JC Penney, Sears, Best Buy, etc – you pay your bills on time or before they are due.

You purchase your first home in 1972, another in the Spring of ’76, sell it and buy another in the Fall of the same year. In ’79 your daughter is born, you pay the bill to the hospital because you have no insurance and you buy another house, and then another in ’80 and ’85, move to the Valley of the Scum in ’’90 and buy another house, and another in 2003, sell it in 21 months and make a killing, and buy another in 2005.

C’mon now… Let’s start off the week with a laugh for a change. We ALL need it! ~ Editor

In his essay, Benjamin Franklin requested experts to find a way to make the farts ‘not only inoffensive but agreeable as perfumes.’

     Engraved portrait of a younger Benjamin Franklin by HB Hall, 1868. From the New York Public Library.

In 1780s, Benjamin Franklin, who was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, wrote an essay that showed he had perfectly mastered the art of sarcasm. The topic of the essay was important scientifically – flatulence, or as many call it, farting – but it came with a touch of humor. The reason why he chose the amusing topic was a question posed by the Royal Academy of Brussels, which was formed in 1772. In its early years, the academy organized several intellectual contests for which it devised questions and awarded medals. The questions were believed to be intellectually important, having a ‘practical value.’ However, in 1799, the academy presented one mathematical question which Benjamin Franklin found ridiculous. In response to it, he wrote the essay, which is famously known as “To the Royal Academy of Farting” or “Fart Proudly.” Continue reading →

It is my right to be uncommon… if I can; I seek opportunity…not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stole calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid; to think and act for myself; enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, – This I have done, and this is what it means to be an American.

If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.

There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.

It is better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep.

On the first day, which this article was posted (Oct. 16, 2002), for the first time – The Federal Observer shut down every column unrelated to protecting YOUR 2nd Amendment rights as a statement of anger and frustration. I’m still angry and I’m still frustrated. Although the visitation to this article has been greater than any we have ever posted, I am concerned that few truly understand the ramifications of that, which lays before us.

I’ve had just about enough of the garbage-that-passes-for-news eminating from the anti-gun networks. Do you think that I jest? For over one week – FOX News Channel has reported nothing but the sniper shootings in D.C. (That’s District of Criminals’ for those of you who don’t understand initials.) We’ve gone from the unknown sniper to a person of possible ‘olive complextion‘. Continue reading →
