It certainly was a one-two punch! Anita Moncrief started us off with her fantastic story (read it here), and then Brandon Darby wow’d us with the amazing recount of what he’s been through as a leftist activist who turned Right and then went undercover for the FBI. He is responsible for saving hundreds of lives as he alerted officials to Left-wing plots against the Right.
Watch the full video presentation of Brandon’s message here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hPP2NMBORg
Some highlights from Brandon and the minute-mark in the video where you can hear them are below…
- 00:55 That’s the thing about America. We believe in redemption. Y’all are smiling at me. You just got done hearing that I worked with Palestinians and I worked with Black Panthers. I did do those things. I did a lot of things in my life… And I’ve done my best to make up for those things.
- 2:29 I always felt like I was someone who had survived a plane crash for some reason, and I always felt this great deal of sympathy for people who were having problems in life for whatever reason, whether their choice or not.
- 3:07 I started to realize that when I saw things that were wrong, if I got other people involved I’d have a lot more of an effect in fixing those things that were wrong. And so that’s when I become politicized… And very quickly a lot of older, radical activists on the Left began to take me under their wing.
- 3:31 …began to read Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States… and I felt lied to about my country. I really bought that line of logic because here were these people who were helping people more than I’ve ever seen anyone help people, and they’re telling me that this is the history and it was so believable — to believe Howard Zinn’s version of what our nation was, that we were a nation founded on oppression. And I believed it, hook, line and sinker… And the people I respected around me, they really reinforced that. So I had these heroes, and a lot of them were the Black Panthers.
- 7:45 [speaking on Hurricane Katrina] I remember looking on Red Cross – all the lists… and you see thousands of people missing their relatives… It was really horrible. And I was really angry. And it really reinforced everything bad I thought about the United States. It really did. I was like, “Wow, this government doesn’t care about the low-income black people.”
- 8:52 [when trying to help Katrina victims] I never had more guns put in my face, more people shooting at me, saw more dead things…
- 9:50 At that time we got another call from another Black Panther who was in trouble there… To make a long story short I helped to save the life of this guy… All of a sudden I was getting a lot of media coverage and I was saying some radical stuff. I was angry about what I had experienced at Katrina. And the Panthers — you can imagine they were angry.
- 10:16… Micheal Moore came up and gave us $200,000 to start an organization, even though we were radical… and after that… a bunch of groups started giving us money. So… we just started organizing in the communities… thousands of volunteers started to come… Prominent, left-of-center activists and political players began to come and began working with me and began to try to co-opt the organization.
- 11:30 Louisiana, which is very socialistic, they decided that they were gonna take… the 9th Ward and the Lower 9th Ward for private community development. I said, “Wait a minute. That’s not right.” We got pretty radical about it… I would do it again if someone did that to your home. I’ll stand in front of that bulldozer…. That’s your private property. When I said that, the Left got mad at me… It was really a weird moment for me. I realized there were some problems.
- 13:36 I got invited to Venezuela by the government of Hugo Chavez.
- 15:08 What they really wanted was a revolutionary movement in the swamps of Louisiana. Obviously I wasn’t real cool with that.
- 15:43 When I got back to the United States, I actually kissed the ground.
- 17:10 I really believe that God was helping me to change.
- 19:41 Everything about me was changing and all these things I had been dedicated to for so many years were changing… At this point I started to feel really bad about how I spoke about my country.
- 20:03 A guy… from the Palestinian Children’s Welfare Fund came to me and he wanted me to help him set up fake businesses… He wanted to support suicide bombers. So I told on him, and I called my arch enemy, the FBI.
- 20:47 Who are these people that I hang out with that if they know I did this, they would hate me?
- 22:07 For two years I spent most of my time working undercover with the International Terrorism Division of the FBI.
- 22:24 We have reports that they’re… threatening violence to stop the Republican National Convention. They’re threatening to do it by any means necessary. At this point I was pretty irritated with the Left’s tendency to shut people’s rights down just because they feel like they’re morally superior, and to de-humanize.
- 24:10 There were two guys making Molotov cocktails, and I was the person who uncovered it.
- 28:01 I’m not going to shut up because I did nothing wrong. I’m proud of what I did, and I’m gonna challenge that narrative [lies from the main stream media].
- 29:20 They [the main stream media] slaughtered me. My mom cried every day for one year. My mom called me everyday crying. I joke you not. I wanted to die. They won’t tell the truth.
- 30:00 Who are these people who do this? They are fighting for the right to be able to suppress Republicans and conservatives because they are morally superior than the ‘evil, racist conservatives.’
- 31:03 They’re just re-writing history and they know they’re lying.
- 31:10 I didn’t know what to do and I wanted to die… And you know what happened? My phone rang one day… “My name’s Andrew Breitbart…” I’m gonna start crying because you don’t know what that felt like.
- 35:11 I started this organization called Citizen Patriot Response. If we could find a way to mobilize tea party people and get a way for them to actually just interact and help in low-income communities, that would break that narrative down [the narrative from the main stream media that labels tea parties as racists].
- 39:25 [speaking about an interaction between a tea party in Houston and some black voters when Shelia Jackson Lee showed up] Everyone was getting along, and …Sheila Jackson Lee showed up… yelling at the top of her lungs. So once again, the people were getting along, it was just the leadership, the traditional black leadership, who was making those divisions.
- The whole deal is, if you have an organization or you wanna help people and if you’ve tried to help people and you found out that in order to help you have to go to this left-of-center non-profit where they try to indoctrinate you and you feel marginalized, if you wanna help, the back of my card says, “If you or someone you know need help or want to help others – please contact us so we can put our heads together and find a solution.” It’s called CPR, Citizen Patriot Response.
- 40:04 It’s guaranteed to get some attention to the good work that conservatives do.
- 40:34 I don’t take money from it… It’s a ministry… I want to support them with the skill sets that I know.
- 41:41 To most of the country, to a lot of the country, to a lot of people under 25, this is what they believe: they believe that if you wanna …help people you vote Left, and if you wanna vote for rich, white racists you vote Right. That’s the narrative, and if you don’t break that narrative down, if private charity doesn’t find an effective, helpful way of addressing needs that are actually encouraging people to be better in the world instead of perpetuating the system, people are eventually gonna vote Left.
Brandon’s email address at CPR is darby@citizenpatriotresponse.org, and the number is 512-749-8578. He promises to return your call!

What a surprise to have Anita Moncrief show up at one of our meetings! She gave a presentation that is a must-see for all conservatives. Anita details the inner workings of the Left agenda and tells the story of how she exposed the fraudulent voter registration practices of ACORN and Barack Obama. If you’ve got friends who are left-leaning or independents, or especially those who have become disenchanted with Obama, you need to show them this. I simply cannot fathom how one can listen to this presentation and still support the Democrats.
You can watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuDSKAh27IE
Here are some highlights I pulled out from Anita’s presentation, and I noted at what time in the video she said them.
- 3:56 For me, I was a staunch, and when I say liberal, I mean radical liberal.
- 4:30 I was really committed to what we were doing. So you start to look the other way. You see things going on in the organization, and you know it’s wrong, but you’re doing it for the ‘movement’, and it’s not really about some of the things that get glossed along the way.
- 6:12 They [ACORN] always wanted to divide the country. It was always a poor black issue… They told us,”Find the most toothless black person you can… We don’t want white people.”
- 9:43 If my team is cheating, are we really winning? That’s when I realized I had to do something.
- 10:38 With liberals, it’s never about right, logical thought. It’s always about how you feel — what emotions — and how you can tie those emotions into things that’ll get people motivated to do things they wouldn’t normally do.
- 11:33 They all told me you cannot go up against ACORN and win.
- 11:42 I sent them [the NY Times] documents, emails, phone records, everything they would need to realize that ACORN was not only a subversive organization, but they were working illegally with the Obama campaign. Every time an article came out, it seemed to be more watered down than the others.
- 14:39 No one in the main stream media wanted to cover the story and admit that Obama had lied about his connections to ACORN.
- 17:40 I realized that all those things that I wanted to do about helping people, I could not do it on the Left, but I could do it with these folks [the conservative groups she was finding] because they were honest; they pulled me in; they were nice to me. And for the first time I realized that the racism that I kept expecting wasn’t coming from the Right; it was coming from the Left.
- 18:26 That’s when I realized that all this time I had been programmed.
- 19:00 You can’t be with a group that’s trying to destroy your country. In everything they did, what they called it, it was never about socialism. They’ve never mentioned the word ‘socialism’ because most blacks do not agree with socialism. They talked about what’s fair, what’s right, giving money back to the people, redistributing wealth. These are the key words, the catch phrases, that they used to get folks involved, not realizing that when you say you’re fighting capitalism that means that you’re socialist!
- 19:49 If you think ACORN has gone underground and has disbanded, you’re completely wrong.
- 20:27 The number of fraudulent [voter] registrations was double the national average. This is how they chip away at our electoral system, putting things in place so where they can go in and make chaos and controversy at the ballot on election day – same thing with some of the things they’re working on with illegal immigration.
- 20:44 We have to be aware that it’s not just voter registration, it’s not just black people… they are trying to fundamentally change… and they are very effective at it because they’re long-range planners. While we’re trying to win an election cycle, they’re trying to make a permanent Democrat majority for the next 40 years. And I won’t even say Democrat because it’s more ‘progressive’ or radical liberal than anything else.
- 21:40 So what we’ve been doing for the past year now is moving out from exposing ACORN to talking about what we can do as conservatives.
- 21:55 We’re teaching the tactics of the Left to conservatives and putting them in the same communities that we have ignored so long. We can’t take back America and ignore areas that look like… I call them liberal fallout zones.
- 22:09 Imagine if we start to get out… in these communities and we show them that with conservatives being in those areas we’ve done more in the past year than Democrats have done in 40+ years. That’s where we are now. If we’re gonna take back America… we have to take it back block by block, city by city.
- Since we can’t trust them [groups like ACORN who register voters] we have to form our own organizations based on conservative values and principles and show them it’s not handouts, it’s prosperity and capitalism — that’s the only proven pathway out of poverty. That’s one of the things we’re doing here in Texas.
- At the end of minute 23, Anita talks about working to elect conservative Democrats in the primaries (including within Shelia Jackson Lee’s district) because many blacks would rather die than vote for an R.
- At minute 24, the Q&A focuses on how to convert Democrats.
Anita’s organization is Sanity 2012 (www.sanity2012.com). She can be contacted at anita@sanity2012.com or 202-412-2970.

Movie review written by NETTP member Tom Moore:
On Thursday, June 30, leaders of the NE Tarrant Tea Party attended the advanced screening of Stephen Bannon’s documentary about Sarah Palin– “The Undefeated.”
Do you think you know Sarah Palin? The mainstream media wants you to know THEIR version. When you learn “the rest of the story” you’ll be genuinely informed and engaged. To know Sarah Palin is to understand grassroots conservatism and the patriotic spirit of this nation’s founders. Her experience proves that one courageous person with honesty and integrity can, against incredible odds, reform a corrupt political system. Her determined efforts on behalf of the people of Alaska earned her an 80 percent approval rating and established her credibility as a principled, honest reformer. She has been criticized for her unconventional way of doing things, but it’s indisputable that she is an effective problem solver.
Her detractors have applied every mean-spirited, hateful trick in the book to discredit her and portray her as extreme, radical or incapable. It’s understandable that people who fear a bright light shinning on their own unscrupulous activities desire to excoriate her. Those with ideological differences such as socialists and progressives have been most vocal against her. They fear her common sense dedication to Constitutional values will have more appeal than their own failed policies. Since their success requires hidden agendas slipped into arcane legislation they know a proven reformer like Sarah Palin will effectively highlight their deceitful schemes.
Give yourself the opportunity to learn why her dedicated supporters believe in her. Go see the documentary film, “The Undefeated.” You will be inspired by her message and vision for a better America filled with real “Hope.”

The following article was written by NETTP member, Tom Moore…
Senator Harry Reid and other liberals are anxious to announce the waning influence of the Tea Party. But is the Tea Party in decline? Against improbable odds and a barrage of misrepresentation by a biased media the Tea Party’s message of limited government, and fiscal responsibility is gaining wider acceptance. Common sense conservatives around the globe are watching the movement with great interest. Dismayed by the fact that socialists, statists and progressives have ruined their economies they are forming grassroots Tea Party groups in Europe and other countries around the world. In the past year Tea Party inspired groups have sprung up in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Austria, the UK, Australia, Columbia, and Japan.
The inevitable result of socialism is economic malaise and restricted freedom by intrusive government regulation and control. Their promise of fairness and social justice rings hollow when compared to the reality of cronyism, corruption and abuse of power. One only has to look at the dreary conditions in Greece to see the result of many years of socialist mismanagement.
A key person behind an international effort to promote the Tea Party values of limited government, fiscal discipline and personal liberties is Luca Bocci, a journalist and spokesman for Tea Party Italia. Luca became involved after witnessing the destruction of the textile industry through socialist government mismanagement and over regulation in Prato, Italy. He says the American movement’s call for less government resonates among European conservatives. He came to admire the wisdom evident in the US Constitution and the protections it guarantees to the people. Tea Party Italia formed as a result of concerned local citizens who believe in limiting the scope of government and excessive spending, a concept that is met with considerable resistance by the entrenched ruling elite. As expected, they struggle to deal with hostile media coverage and to dispel lies spread in an attempt to discredit the movement. Bocci says grassroots organizing is innovative and critical to success. In Europe the tradition is top down with the established political party setting the agenda. The Tea Party has to be something coming from the people. Bocci has been touring the US, visiting with local Tea Parties, receiving advice, sharing experiences and learning about the organization on an individual level. He eschewed meeting with self-proclaimed leaders who endeavor to be the “face” of the movement but frequently have personal agendas and distracting egos. He places great emphasis on local, “grassroots” efforts as evidence of genuine credibility.
In Dallas, Bocci met with the Dallas Tea Party and NE Tarrant Tea Party to discuss his “journey” and ideas for expanding internationally. He believes the effort will be most effective by proceeding carefully at the local level and engaging people one-on-one. Internationally, people can learn what has been done in America and adapt it to their culture and political situation. He declared, “The struggle in Italy and elsewhere in Europe is going to be much harder than the one our American cousins are fighting.
The reason is very simple: people have forgotten what it’s like to live a full existence, free of the endless constraints, regulations and petty acts of government abuse that have become a part of the life of every European citizen.”
The importance of the Tea Party movement cannot be overstated. Its impact will affect all people worldwide who desire personal freedom and the opportunity for a better life. The appeal to freedom tugs at the human heart and is the binding thread that will bring people to this cause. Our message must be consistent with our principles. It is incumbent on all Tea Party members to be steadfast in their commitment to core values of integrity and honesty. Credibility and trust is the key to achieving our common goals.

NETTP had a beautiful float in the Grapevine Christmas Parade "Parade of Lights." We created a living room scene with a piano, sofa, tree, etc, and had military men and children on it singing "I'll Be Home For Christmas." Our sign on the side said, "NE Tarrant Tea Party Supports All Who Protect Our Freedoms!" Seems harmless enough, right? Wrong — not if you're a member of the Mid Cities Democrats club, who apparently has a reputation for going to the media to complain every time they feel the slightest bit "offended."
Of the 30,000-40,000 parade attendees, seven people complained to the Chamber of Commerce that we were allowed in the parade. From the comments on the newspaper article about this story, it is clear these 7 people were friends of the main complainer, Kathleen Thompson, former President of Mid Cities Dems, so I can only assume she did all she could to rally up as many complainers as she could — all 7 of them. Meanwhile, the NETTP float received nothing but cheers and applaud from the rest of the 30,000-40,000 parade-goers.
It seems, however, that the Grapevine Chamber may be siding with the Dems on this one. Their statements make it clear that they hesitated to allow us into the parade but were forced to do so because they had no rules in place that allowed them to refuse us. The Chamber President said they are looking at ways to re-word it so they can avoid controversy in the future. Controversy? What controversy? Seven democrats who whine like my 3-yr-old daughter are considered a controversy? Every good parent knows that when a child whines, you don't give in or it will only perpetuate the behavior. Many members of NETTP have contacted the Chamber, letting them know that it would be wrong to eliminate us from next year's parade. I hope you will add your voice, as the decision will be made when their parade committee meets in January. You can contact the Chamber at:

An article by Roy Beck (Founder & CEO of NumbersUSA): Author of Fed’l 287(g) Law Says It Was Written to Allow State Laws Like Arizona’s was posted in NumbersUSA.com yesterday.
Rep. Lamar Smith has had it with so-called experts lying about what federal law allows for local enforcement of immigration rules.
In today’s Washington Post, he takes to task the immigration chiefs of the past two Presidents (one Republican and one Democrat) who have joined others in distorting the purpose of the “287(g)” local enforcement program, which is something of a model for the Arizona law that is scheduled to take effect later this week but is also tied up in federal court.

In this blog article written by NETTP member, JW ‘Yawn’ vanLohuizen, the topic addressing Obama’s Secret Plan to Repeal the First Amendment is looked at in detail.
Thursday the Obama White House quietly took the first step in eliminating the first amendment by suspending freedom of speech and freedom of the press for the first time since Abraham Lincoln. News cameras are now required to remain over 65 feet away from anything that is a result of the Gulf Oil Spill. Immediate detainment, severe jail times and heavy fines will now be imposed in the name of “Not Hindering Cleanup”….
First the press, then speech, finally enslavement…

The following information was put together by a NETTP member:
Are you upset yet at what is going on with your freedom and liberties. Sooner or later you’ll get there, and the later is happening as we speak. Thank God the Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 to keep your gun. The Government is out of control and they are trying to shut down the internet now. The internet bill was passed yesterday through the committee and is in the house now. Wake Up America!!!!! I don’t want to sound like a broken record but the country is already there, BROKE!!!!
You just spent $20,000,000 to move members/supporters of Hamas, a terrorist organization, to the United States; housing, food, the whole enchilada.
H.R. 1388 was passed, behind our backs. It wasn’t mentioned on the news, it just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN screen.
President Barack Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA, which was not mentioned in the news.
By executive order, Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in “migration assistance” to the Palestinian refugees and “conflict victims” in Gaza .
The “presidential determination,” which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States, was signed and appears in the Federal Register.
Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket complete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.
Now we learn that he is allowing thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the US at American taxpayer expense.
These important, and insightful, issues are being “lost” in the blinding bail-outs and “stimulation” packages.
Doubtful? To verify this for yourself: www.thefederalregister.com/d.p/2009-02-04-E9-2488
WE are losing this country at a rapid pace. These people will be fast-tracked to voter status before the next election, along with the 20 million illegals that are already here. How? Think ACORN tactics, the same way Obama got elected the first time.
