Organizations, like organisms, have life cycles. They are born, live and die. Home Owner’s associations, companies, religions, governments and nations all are born, live and die. At the beginning of the twentieth century there were dozens of American car companies. Over my lifetime I have seen churches that flourished and then became empty buildings. To keep something alive takes active dedication by one or many people. Often times the core folks have a falling out and go off to do other things. It’s sad. But, it’s life. Constant change and renewal.

Sorry, have only one clue from which to start the investigation. The Oregon/Bundy standoff. http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/oregon-standoff-splintering-antigovernment-groups
Perhaps this had something to do with any decision made. Are there any phone numbers available which you might call? Friends, names in the group you might ask? A local resident who might possibly be a member (police, vet, ?)

After going to OK on their Facebook page a message was found that their website was down due to technical difficulties and they hoped to have it up again by Sunday afternoon.
Keep trying?

Dying?

It wasn’t really anything to begin with. Just a lot of big talk.

Though I’m not eligible for active OK membership, I long ago recognized that one is never “unsworn” after being sworn in to defend our countryt and its Constittion; me in August 1956 into the NYARNG, honorably discharged in October 1956 as Sgt E-5, MG squad leader. In 2004 I could stomach neither Bush’s policies and certainly not Kerry’s in any way, shape, or form. Voted for Mike Peroutks/Chuck Baldwin, then for CB in 2008. Know how you feel. Keep on.

I was a member of Oathkeepers for a few years. Unfortunately, the organization has run into a few problems. Here in PA we have split off to form our own seperate organization. This has happened in a few states. We are very active at the local level. The local level is where the rubber hits the road. Like minded folks setting up mutual assistance networks.

In today’s America you can’t start a flower sniffing or butterfly watching club without it being infiltrated by the FBI, DHS, BATFE and a legion of local snoops, spooks and snitches.

I joined, pay annual dues because, well, I think their heart was in the right place, but there’s no way they’ll ever be able to do what is necessary to return this country to the fundamentals of a “constitutional republic.”

You don’t have to take an oath to be a patriot.

I was sworn in to the Army, enlisted not officer.

I have thought about the Oath Keepers. I have thought about getting a CCW license. Have done neither. I’m already on enough bad boys lists.

If the need to defend the nation comes, I’ll be there (I’m old). But if that happens it will not be a local group. The State of Texas will be involved. The governor has already said we will not comply with taking guns from the public.

I have bought additional reloading equipment and components. I do garden, because I like fresh veggies. I’m not a prepper, but think I can be pretty self sufficient if need be. We farm, have the equipment and land. Live in the “Big Nothing”. Know and like most of my neighbors. Family has been here a very long time.

That said, these are not normal times.

Your are among FRiends.
