Adam Kokesh on Local DC News Hopes "Like in Benghazi", Obama Will Issue A Stand Down Order On Open Carry March

Adam Kokesh went on local Washington D.C. news, explaining his open carry march. He was even able to slip in that he hopes "like in Benghazi, Obama will issue the order to stand down".

The look on Juan Williams face, while Kokesh brings up Benghazi, is priceless.

Applaud this man.

Connecticut Military Veteran Forcefully Disarmed By Police After Refusing Psychiatric Evaluation

It has been more than a month since local police came into the home, and confiscated the guns of fifty-year-old Navy veteran, Dave Schmecker.  Schmecker, when recalling that particular day, still can't seem to make sense of it all.

"I posed no threat to anyone", says the Navy Veteran, who lives alone, and doesn't have a wife, or children.  Schmecker continued, "I have no psychiatric history, or criminal past."

Jeff Durkin, of We Are Change CT, and myself, went to the home of Dave Schmecker, in Naugatuck, CT, to get the story straight from the military veteran, in his own words, and capture Dave's story on video. (video above)

According to Schmecker, it all started about six months ago when he called the VA hospital to request a check on his spine, which has been giving him pain for some time.  Schmecker was assuming he would be allowed to see a pain management specialist.  When the hospital called the veteran back, they informed him that if he wanted to see a pain management specialist, he would first have to see a psychologist for one half-hour, and a psychiatrist for one half-hour.  Schmecker refused.

"Why should I have to see a psychiatrist, and a psychologist, for a back pain?", asks Schmecker.  Several months went by, and Schmecker never heard back from the VA.

Fast forward to February 5th, Schmecker was having a conversation, over the telephone with his friend, and it was decided that the two should meet.  When the two friends met, they decided to attend a church, and maybe talk to a priest, for spiritual guidance.  They visited a church, at random, in West Haven, which to Dave's later surprise was 'a stones throw away' from the VA hospital of West Haven.  Dave had a private conversation with the priest, assuming their conversation would be kept private, and then left.

When Schmecker arrived back to his home in Naugatuck, CT, he noticed a missed called from the local police department.  When he called the police department back, and asked what they had called about, he was told that his primary care physician had called the police to perform a "wellness check" on Dave, because of a peculiar message that the doctor heard on Schmecker's answering machine.

Before Schmecker left his home, earlier in the day, to meet up with his friend to attend church, not having a cell phone, he changed his answering machine message, and directed it to his friend, with whom he was just having a conversation with, just in case his friend called, after Schmecker had already left.

What did the answering machine message say?  Well, according to Schmecker, the message was:

"I feel like it's poisonous staying in my house.  I feel like Co-Intel-Pro is after me.  I'm running."

Dave Schmecker insists "there was nothing in that message that was threatening to myself, or anyone else."  Schmecker also believes that the answering machine message was just used as an excuse, and it didn't matter what the message said, the police were coming.  I, Goodman, believe as Dave does, that the message doesn't seem to be of any significance in this ordeal, because, in my opinion, there is nothing in this message to cause alarm, and, also, I post worse things than that on my Facebook page, everyday.

Schmecker decided to go down to the police station and "clear this all up".  Schmecker was waiting in the lobby at the police station, and nobody came to see him.  The Navy veteran then decided to leave.  Schmecker called the police station and told them that he was waiting, nobody came, and that he left.  The police official responded that the police were called away, but they still need to perform a wellness check on Dave, so they were going to drive up to his house.  Schmecker told the police that he did not want the stigma of having police in front of his house, where the neighbors would see, so he would meet them at the end of the street.

In his truck, Dave was now waiting at the end of the street for the police.  When the police show up, they commandeered his vehicle, and told him he wasn't going anywhere.  The police then informed the fifty-year old veteran that he was going to let them in his house, give them his weapons, and he was being forced to go a psychiatric evaluation.  Schmecker was told forcefully, by the police, that "you must let us in", and "if you don't open the safe, we'll bust it open".  The veteran was also led to believe that the police had a risk warrant, but later found out that they did not have a warrant.

Schmecker says he submitted to the police requests under "duress".  "I live alone, I have no witnesses, if I did try to resist", says Schmecker.

The police, who Schmecker described as looking like "thugs with guns", performed a thorough search of his home, inspecting everything, rummaging through Dave's safe, taking his three guns, and sending him away in an ambulance to a psychiatric ward for three days.

The time spent in the psychiatric ward was an extremely traumatic experience.  Being stuck with needles, given pills, and getting his blood pressure checked every half-hour, Schmecker says he felt he had to submit to this treatment because other patients in the ward were telling him "you better be cool here, or you'll end up in a patted room".

After 72 hours inside of the psych ward, Schmecker was released, and began trying to make sense of the event.  He called his doctor and asked him why he called his house that day.  According to Schmecker, the VA told him they called his house "because you hadn't renewed your medication", though they never did this before, and he has let his medications lapse in the past.  On top of that, according to Schmecker, his medications did not need to be renewed.

Dave Schmecker now believes that the priest that he confided in, at the church in West Haven, called the VA hospital in West Haven, to report on Schmecker, who in turn, called his doctor at the VA of Waterbury.  This would not be surprising to me, as I have reported in the past, on my experiences with learning of religious leaders in Waterbury, secretly working with the federal government.  

So far this event has cost Dave Schmecker several thousands of dollars in bills from the hospital stay, the EMS ride, and more, plus an unmeasurable amount of emotional turmoil.  This experience "has literally devastated me," says Schmecker.

Guns Save Lives: Pharmacy Owner Shoots Armed Intruder, Gun Owning Georgia Mother Stops Home Invasion

There are many cases where good people, with guns, stop bad people.  The mainstream media has such an extreme anti-gun bias, that I feel that my work, and the work of others, like The Media Speaks, to document the many cases where guns are used for good, is vital.

This week brought two new examples of why private gun ownership is necessary.  In Madera, California, a pharmacy owner shot a man, who came into his pharmacy and began immediately shooting at the pharmacy owner and his mother, in apparent robbery, murder attempt.  (Local News Video Report Below)

In the next report, a Georgia mother was forced to hide, with her children, in an attic crawl space, to try to get away from a home intruder.  When the suspect, 32-year-old Paul Slater, continued after the mother and children, the mother shot Slater, seriously wounding him.  The Christian Science Monitor reports, "Melinda Herman grabbed a handgun and hid in a crawl space with her two children when a man broke in last week and approached the family at their home northeast of Atlanta, police said. Herman called her husband on the phone, and with him reminding her of the lessons she recently learned at a shooting range, Herman opened fire, seriously wounding the burglary suspect."  (Video below)

Here at The Goodman Chronicle, I have been documenting 'guns save lives' examples, and here are a few as of recent:

'Gun Owners of America' Is The Leading Organization Supporting the 2nd Amendment in Washington, Not The NRA

After the shooting in Newtown, CT, the NRA, National Rifle Association, released a statement saying "The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again."  The NRA plans to hold a major news conference on Friday, December 21, and maybe we can learn exactly what they mean by that statement.

The NRA presents itself as one of the leading voices in Washington, fighting infringements on the 2nd amendment, with over 4 million members registered with the organization.  There are some gun-rights advocates that believe the NRA is a fraud, and the organization has been co-opted by the Washington establishment, now giving you the illusion that they are fighting for your 2nd amendment right, but instead having hidden agendas, like doing anything to increase their revenues, which in 2010, reached $228 million.

One gun-rights organization that never seems to compromise is 'Gun Owners of America', an organization that has, in the past, publicly criticized the NRA for 'selling out'.  After the CT shooting, many politicians began calling for gun control legislation, but the NRA has remained silent.  The executive director of Gun Owners of America, Larry Pratt, on the other hand, has chosen to come out and publicly defend the 2nd amendment, with as much zeal as ever.  In a video that is now going viral, Larry Pratt went on the Piers Morgan show on CNN, and completely embarrassed Morgan in a debate, to the point that Morgan resorted to name calling.  (video below)

Newtown, CT School Shooting: Medication, Tragedy, Truth, & Conspiracy

As has been widely reported, on Friday, December 14, a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, killing 26 people, including 20 children.  The story has been everywhere, and here at The Goodman Chronicle, I do not write a story if it is just a regurgitation of what has already been reported, so instead of give you a timeline of events, I will cover the story in a way the media is NOT covering it.  I sincerely offer my deepest condolences to everyone involved in this horrible tragedy, made many times worse due to the fact so many young innocent children were involved.

Medication

When friends and neighbors of the shooter, 20 year old Adam Lanza, and his family were interviewed, they recalled Adam as being a genius, and very bright, but "odd", displaying characteristics associated with mental illness, suffering from a personality disorder, needing special help, and being on medication.

This is what I believe the real story behind the shooter should be about, what it was that drove him to this point.  There have been several violent homicide cases in recent American history, that have made the American people cringe in horror at the level of cruelty.  Nearly all these cases had one common denominator; psychiatric drugs.  The website, SSRI Stories, documents numerous violent crimes, and their association with prescription drugs.  Columbine shooter Eric Harris was prescribed Luvox, an antidepressant medication. Andrea Yates, the woman from Texas who drowned her five children in the bathtub, was prescribed multiple psychiatric drugs, including the antidepressant Effexor, which added "homicidal ideation" to the warning label of the drug, after the Yates case.  I can keep going on, but there is a documentary titled, "The Common Denominator - Mass Murder Suicides - Prescription Drugs", that has already done a great job connecting the mass murders of recent past, to prescription drugs, that I suggest everyone watch. (video below)

Why are you not hearing about the prescription drug influence in all of these shootings?  Maybe because so many of the commercials in between television shows and news reports are for prescription drugs.

Former Waterbury Police Seargent Only Gets Three Years Probation After Several of His Guns Were Used In Various Street Crimes

In 2009, Waterbury Police Sergeant, Harold David Setzer, was arrested after five handguns, registered to him, were used in various shootings in New Haven.  When he was confronted and questioned by police he gave one questionable story and then a short time after, came with a different story when he had his 15 year old son, make up a lie, and say one of his friends stole the guns.  When police concluded that this was a lie, they raided his house, and found illegal weapons, as well as an "improvised explosive device".  On Friday, October 26, 2012, at his arraignment, Setzer avoided jail time, and only received three years probation!  He also said he had hoped he could remain a police sergeant “so I could take care of my family.”

(Harold David Setzer, on left, poses after a drug seizure in 2003.)

This is just another example of the hypocrisy of this justice system.  Harold David Setzer was one of these drug detectives, as seen in this picture above, holding a bag of money that he seized in a drug raid.  These people will raid your house in the early morning, drag your children out of bed with guns to their heads, and even will shoot your dog in the head if it's barking, if they believe you have something as harmless as marijuana in your house.  Meanwhile they get caught involved in all types of criminal activity.

We need to end this drug war, and stop the idea that the government should be regulating what we do to ourselves and our own bodies.  We also need to stop allowing the police, and all government, to be above the laws that they create.  We need liberty.

12 Year Old Girl Shoots A Home Invader In Oklahoma

    In yet another case in support of the 2nd amendment a twelve year old shoots a home invader, with the family gun.  This won't make the news, nation wide, because the mainstream news has an agenda to make you believe guns are bad.  The few cases that guns do hurt good people are taken by the mainstream media and blown out of proportion, ie. Trayvon Martin.  I have saved clips from different local news station throughout the country, from this year, with similar cases like this 12 year old, whose lives have been potentially saved because of guns.  I plan on compiling a more lengthy report, but here are a couple of examples for now.
