Ron Paul supporters, goldbugs and people wearing JFK T-shirts amassed on the lawn between Liberty Memorial and Union Station to protest the Federal Reserve Bank on Saturday.

End the Fed rallies took place in Kansas City and other cities where the Fed operates banks. The Kansas City protesters brought signs blasting various aspects of the U.S. financial system, including the government's $54 trillion deficit.

Working without the benefit of the media apparatus that promoted the tea-bag parties, the protesters hoped to muster support for Paul-sponsored legislation to audit and dismantle the Federal Reserve System. Congress created the system in 1913, after two earlier central banks lost their charters. "The first two were abolished because of corruption issues," Catherine Bleish, executive director of the Liberty Restoration Project, said on Saturday.

The JFK shirts recognized an executive order relating to the issuance of silver certificates the 35th president signed in 1963. The timing of the order has prompted conspiracy theorists to wonder if bankers afraid of losing their grip on power supplied arms to the second gunman on the grassy knoll.

Tony’s Kansas City covers LRP and our list of grievances against red light traffic cameras!

We’ve been learning a lot from other groups fighting these corporate revenue generating scameras and look forward to the fight in the MO legislature in 2010.

Have you heard about or day of redlight traffic camera street action the day after Christmas?

Liberty Restoration Project Files List Of Kansas City Red Light Complaints!!!

Copied and pasted from an upstart group of Missouri Libertarians circulating this message on Facebook. Here are The Top 15 Arguments Against Red Light Camera Enforcement:

1. No clear proof that red light cameras reduce accidents or save lives (but they usually do generate lots of revenue for the city!).

2. Red light cameras might actually cause more rear end collisions, because people brake suddenly at yellow lights to avoid red light camera tickets.

3. The red light camera system might not be functioning properly, or might not be properly calibrated, and you could get stuck with a bogus ticket as a result.

4. If somebody else is driving your car and runs a light, YOU are responsible for the ticket.

5. You might have a bunch of red light cameras along your daily route, and thus be unfairly targeted.

6. Most of the Kansas City red light cameras are located in areas with higher minority populations and lower income populations.

7. Cities and red light camera companies often reduce the green->yellow->red light cycle time (aka "signal timing") at intersections so more people will run the light, and get a ticket, and pay the $100+ fine … and consequently increase revenue for the city and/or red light camera company that shares in ticket fine proceeds. An unfortunate side effect of this practice is an increase in accidents and injuries.

8. Steve Worley, the city traffic engineer who pushed for the red light camera system use, quit his job and went to work for the company that got the contract to supply red light cameras to the city. [source]-

9. City employees and other people with connections in city hall often get their tickets dismissed. But YOU still have to pay your fine.

10.Red light camera tickets are a bogus revenue generator for the city that ultimately comes out of YOUR paycheck.

11.If you supposedly run a red light and get issued a ticket, the ticket is mailed to you. What happens if the ticket gets lost in the mail? You'll probably never know about the ticket until you're arrested for failure to

pay the fine.

12.Hearsay (i.e. there is no certifiable witness to the alleged violation). "Ordinarily, if you wish to use a document or letter as evidence in court, you need to bring in a live person to testify as to its authenticity

and accuracy (and he can be cross-examined about the same, by your opponent). Without that 'live' authentication, the document would be ruled to be 'hearsay,' and it would be excluded from evidence.

There is an exception to the hearsay rule, for documents created by a government employee – but many of the documents the police present in court have been created by a private company's employees, who have

no official duty to report accurately." In other words, if you want to contest the ticket in court, you most likely would not win your case. source one – http://www.highwayrobbery.net/

13.This type of enforcement emphasizes ticket volume. [source] -

14.Red light cameras encourage artificially low speed limits, and adversely affect traffic flow. [source]

Kevin, I can’t wait to work on this project with you. Time to TAKE BACK MISSOURI!!!!!

Operation Defuse – Join the fight against profiling and unnecessary databasing of citizens by government run “Fusion Centers”

http://operationdefuse.com/

Operation Defuse is kicking off as an ongoing collaboration between various patriots and government oversight groups to educate and formulate a plan to provide oversight based upon common principals.

Kicking it off is Catherine Bleish from Liberty Restoration Project (LRP) and John Bush from Texans for Accountable Government (TAG) with a speaking tour of parts of the country with important information on how Fusion Centers have been fought in Texas and Missouri.

The “Fusion” of intelligence between law enforcement agencies is being touted as the biggest step for police collaboration and tools to fight crime in recent history. In reality, the good must come with the bad and this is a terrible step back for Liberty. Fusion Centers provide the backbone for many Government database operations, and some (MIAC in Missouri among others) have reached recent infamy for allowing collaboration with political groups (ADL, SPLC) to influence how warnings are drafted.

There are big plans in the works for Missouri. Starting in 2010 We plan to resume our fight against the improper practices of the MIAC center by using creative local strategies to help the State Legislature come up with a plan with some teeth to ensure that nothing like the Strategic Reports at http://wiki.libertyrestorationproject.org happens again. Stay tuned for details as I have signed up as the Operation: Defuse – Missouri Coordinator.

If you are willing to help, I'm looking for volunteers in Saint Louis, KC, Springfield, and Jefferson City.
