We at STTPML are all veterans of the U.S. military and/or government service and as such have all taken the oath to uphold, preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic and to obey and carry-out the [lawful] orders of superiors. It has been our experience that the enemies of the U.S. Constitution are far more often domestic than foreign. We believe that in a society composed of people and groups with different and competing perceptions, passions and interests, there must be the rule of law for all, without fear or favor, as with out it there would be no rule of law; and we also believe that the nature, intentions of the law itself, who is really being served if not all, and at whose expense, must be a paramount question.
Yet as indigenous persons as well as veterans, we know that not only was the U.S. Constitution written by rich propertied white males to institutionalize their racism, property and rule through often criminal means, through a system that would make their own conduct “lawful” and thus no need to even break the law the non-wealthy and non-White would be held to. They made no pretense that the phrases “We the People” and “All men are created equal” did not mean Women, Indians, Slaves, non-propertied Whites, non-“Christian” (their kind) or even non-White in general. John Jay, the First Supreme court justice said “Only those who own America should vote and control America.”
We also understand that the Constitution incorporated the Electoral College system that survives today out of contempt for the masses and democracy not to promote it. The so-called “Founding Fathers”, in addition to being members of a host of elitist secret societies associated with white superiority and supremacy, slavery, racism, the China opium trade, and networking power, expressed open contempt for the masses and democracy. The imperative for local wealthy representatives on the local levels to “elect” other wealthy representatives at regional and national levels, (no mandate to vote as popular majority voted) was enshrined in the electoral college that survives today; no direct voting by the “unwashed, uneducated and undisciplined and even threatening masses”.
And we have documented on this site the direct line in history that runs from the racism, genocide, Christian Zionism and eugenics beliefs of the Puritans, to the white superiority/supremacy/eugenics/secret societies of the “Founding Fathers”, to cults like Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, Masons and others, to the Anglo-American-German Eugenics movement of the late 1800s, to the Nazis and their laws and genocide in the 1930s and 40s, to the Anglo-American recruitment and protection of wanted Nazi and Japanese war criminals in return for their “eugenics” and “other” “research” to some of the present-day power players and networks of Anglo-American imperium that survive.
We also understand that when we call for the rule of law, we beg the question: “Whose law?” There was “rule of law” in Nazi Germany, written by for and in the service of Nazism as a system and ideology. As Anatole France put it so succinctly:
La majestueuse égalité des lois, qui interdit au riche comme au pauvre de coucher sous les ponts, de mendier dans les rues et de voler du pain.
In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.

And those who intend to smash real democracy and its laws, will be the first to use all the “rights”, laws and electoral processes in the particular, for themselves, in order to destroy any semblance of democracy in general.
“Only one thing could have broken our movement: if the adversary had understood its principle and from the first day had smashed with extreme brutality the nucleus of our new movement.”[51] Adolf Hitler –
And:
“Hitler had gone to the meeting with his mind made up on two objectives which his mind which he intended henceforth to pursue. One was to concentrate all power in his hands. The other was to re-establish the Nazi Party as a political organization which would seek power exclusively through constitutional means. He had explained the new tactics to one of his henchman Karl Ludeke while still in prison: ‘When I resume active work it will be necessary to pursue a new policy. Instead of working to achieve power by armed coup, we shall have to hold our noses and enter the Reichstag against the Catholic and Marxist deputies . If outvoting takes longer than out-shooting them, then at least the result will be guaranteed by their own constitution. Any lawful process is slow…Sooner or later we shall have the majority—and after that Germany.’ On his release from Landsberg [prison] he had assured the Bavarian Premier that the Nazi Party would henceforth act within the framework of the constitution… [On February 27, 1932, after labeling Marxists and Jews as ‘the enemy’]: ‘To this struggle of ours, there are only two possible issues: either the enemy passes over our bodies or we pass over theirs.’ Adolf Hitler –
But just as the particulars of the law can be and often are used to subvert the clear intent and spirit of the law, and even to conduct and cover-up criminal acts according to other law, so the law can also be used to expose such intent and outcomes and to leave a paper trail for others to follow. But we understand that we cannot support the rule of law (international trumps national trumps state trumps local) for others while breaking the law ourselves even under the banner of protecting the law or national security the covers often used by the national security state for its own serial lawbreaking and contempt for law.

We use only public source documents; we do not care how they became public, we understand the rage and acts of Snowden and other whistle-blowers, and we think they have a solid defense of exigency and failures of internal processes they went to and thus had to act under 18 USC 4, but we have never advocated or encouraged illegal leaking, hacking, cyberwarfare, harassment, intimidation or leaking to us of anyone. We have and still do advocate whistle-blowing if anyone is aware of crimes being committed as that is a matter of law and duty of all citizens. In fact, some of the real leakers of the most sensitive intelligence all have top-level security clearances working on very sensitive projects:
