We are getting more hits than ever here at the Institute website.  Much excitement over the Tea Party.  The time is right, let us take to the streets –starting in our building, of course, since we have no parade permit.  We are planning on a very full building!

A new friend just wrote to succinctly state what tomorrow is all about:

Thank you for the information. I will be there ready to celebrate Independence Day and oppose an out of control government!

Blessings,

Everett

Please come prepared … with tea to share, or ice, and chair and signs and whatever else seems appropriate.  HANDBILLING IS ENCOURAGED. 

The Institute had planned to merely support a tea party in the Fort … turns out  we are instead hosting it.  Last week we thought it would be a stretch to have 25 people show up, we are now convinced that as many as ten times that number may attend.  Not a problem, it will be in keeping with our previous commemorations.  

But do come at 11 if you want to be a reader and be guaranteed some iced tea!  Only those sharing the ideas of others will take to the microphone at this event. 

Here are some posts of interest on the subject . . .

We will post all of the readings from the tea party on Sunday.

Congress’s Travel Tab Swells

Spending on Taxpayer-Funded Trips Rises Tenfold; From Italy to the Galápagos

WASHINGTON — Spending by lawmakers on taxpayer-financed trips abroad has risen sharply in recent years, a Wall Street Journal analysis of travel records shows, involving everything from war-zone visits to trips to exotic spots such as the Galápagos Islands.

The spending on overseas travel is up almost tenfold since 1995, and has nearly tripled since 2001, according to the Journal analysis of 60,000 travel records. Hundreds of lawmakers traveled overseas in 2008 at a cost of about $13 million. That’s a 50% jump since Democrats took control of Congress two years ago.

SUCH CORRUPTION (YES, IT IS CORRUPTION) ALMOST BROUGHT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UK LAST MONTH.  LUCKY FOR CONGRESS THE AMERICAN MEDIA IS RUNNING INTERFERENCE FOR THEM — SINCE THE CORRUPTION COMES FROM THE LEFT AND BOUGHT-AND-SOLD MIDDLE.

You can help make the tea party in Fort Wayne a success.

We could use help on the sound reinforcement front in our tea party in the Fort.  As in a p.a. system.  Not large, just big enough to get the good word from the downstairs to the upstairs at our building.  And maybe some bleed over to our small front porch.

Also … can anyone of you bring a half gallon of tea?   We continue to get word from those coming, could be a larger turnout than previously expected?

And how about ice?  Tea or ice, not tea and ice.

And would you like to be a reader?  Then come at 11 am for your assignment.  We will randomly assign reading, from an alliance of the willing.

Oh,  and why not bring lawn chairs?   There is a fine park and plaza nearby where you might want to sit a spell and visit before or after the tea party. 

The ArchAngel Institute will supply the cups, the text of the readings, the organization and the place. 

Y’all come now, y’hear?

More info:  email archangelinstitute@gmail.com

… is getting lots of buzz.  Many have called to say that they are coming.

Here is the plan:

11 am — Iced tea and networking for patriots at 827 Webster Street and in nearby park.  Patriotic music on the p.a.  Informal gathering.

High Noon — We begin formal readings to mark this special day, starting with Foundation, moving to the Founders and ending on some contemporaries.  Commentary by We the People throughout.

1:00 p.m.  We mutually pledge as did the Founders and then pledge our allegiance to the Republic that they founded. 

Afterward :  More iced tea, more networking.

Celebrities?   The focus is on Foundations and Founders.  No celebrities or politician needed to mark this special day.  Elected officials are welcome to attend and stand with all as the foundational texts are read and discussed among citizens who care  — as equals, both the mighty and the powerless.

Map?  Right here it is.  We are on the northeast corner of Wayne and Webster, just across from the Allen County Public Library.  

Questions or comments?  archangelinstitute@gmail.com

Yes?  Then come, let us reason together.  Click here for an invite to the Fort:  http://www.archangelinstitute.org/independence-day-celebration-at-the-institute/

The Left was always allowed to be so mad.  Doesn’t that mean that the right can be as well?

(Probably not, but let’s do it anyway.)

Well,  not this mad …  more constructively mad.

Cold tea at 11 am.

Readings celebrating sacred honor begin at noon.

Pledge of Allegiance to the Republic around 1:00 pm.   (A revolutionary act in times such as these.)

Then more social networking toward the goal of channeling our anger in positive directions.

There is always time to party …. come to the Institute next Saturday to commemorate the generations who gave us one of the greatest Republics to ever grace this fallen orb … and to hope for a rebirth of true, bounded and God-honoring freedom.

MN GOP PRESS RELEASE: “RPM STATEMENT ON GORE ENDORSEMENT OF FRANKEN”

By Michael B. Brodkorb | June 4, 2008

St. Paul – Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Ron Carey tonight issued the following statement regarding Al Gore’s endorsement of Al Franken.

“Tipper Gore and Al Gore were right when they condemned Franken’s vile and demeaning humor directed at the daughter of Newt Gingrich.  Regardless of age, regardless of party, regardless of standing, Al Franken has a pattern of offensive and cruel humor at the expense of women. 

Not that Dave Letterman should have a problem with Franken on that front.

AND

 ”And so basically, what it looks like is going to happen is that Libby and Karl Rove are going to be executed” because “outing a CIA agent is treason,” left-wing author and radio talk show host Al Franken asserted Friday night, to audience laughter, on CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman. Franken qualified his hard-edged satire: “Yeah. And I don’t know how I feel about it because I’m basically against the death penalty, but they are going to be executed it looks like.” Franken later suggested that President Bush is at risk of receiving the same punishment, since Karl Rove likely told him what he did, but he added a caveat: “I think, by the way, that we should never ever, ever, ever execute a sitting President.”

AND

“As reported by Tom Curry of MSNBC, Al Franken, in criticizing Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, said: ‘Being a racist and a sexist was a good calling card for the Reagan administration.’

And

“Al Franken, one of the original writers for “Saturday Night Live,” has been known in recent years for his left-wing activism, with books like “Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot” (Rush is now quite trim) and “Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.” Others have picked apart the errors of his books and observed that he is more nasty than funny — hardly a latter-day H.L. Mencken. As “National Review” editor Rich Lowry observed, “Comedians who aren’t funny have to become political spokesmen — thus Al Franken’s new career.”

AND

“I’ll tell you what a lot of people are thinking, and that is it looks like things are going to be over and we are going to get the clown from Minnesota,’’ Senator Imhofe said.

“They are not going to get more than 35 votes.’’

Asked if he was referring to Al Franken as the clown from Minnesota, Inhofe confirmed he was.

“I didn’t mean to be disrespectful. I don’t know the guy, but … for a living he is a clown,’’ the senator said.

“That’s what he does for a living.’’

YET BRYAN BROWN IS UNFIT TO BE LICENSED AS AN INDIANA ATTORNEY DUE TO HIS ACTIVISM ON THE RIGHT?  UNFIT TO CONTINUE A 12 YEAR CAREER AT LAW SO HE CAN SUPPORT HIS SIX DEPENDENTS?

A SIGN OF THE TIMES, NO?

LET’S HOPE FRANKEN IS NOT HONORED WITH A NOTRE DAME DIPLOMA NEXT MAY.

For those praying with us for the Indiana Supreme Court to allow Bryan J. Brown to sit for the bar exam in 2009 …  they have denied his request.  See past posts for details. 

Thanks for praying.   We welcome continued prayers.  God must certainly care about the Brown family.

Here is the local National Right to Life Affiliate breaking the story that we were starting something new at the former abortion clinic.

Here is our dedication service on May 19, 2007….it got things rolling for us.

Here is a pretty good overview of what we are all about from last March

We did a series on our open house last January-February, here is the opening post.

Here is the mission statement post from that series

Here is the much longer version of our mission statement and what makes the Institute tick

Here is one of the many acts (infanticide) of the Indiana judiciary that helped to radicalize those who founded the Institute.

Here is another (allowing frivolous lawsuits to visit harm on good people) that drove many in the Fort to take up spiritual arms against the local abortion clinic.

Here is one of the three reasons that the abortion industry drove the Institute’s founder out of Fort Wayne in 1991

Here is an incarnational explanation of the Institute

Here is the kind of thinking that the Culture of Death just hates to read

Three months ago we received the blessing of a VIP (Bishop John D’Arcy)

The local newspaper took note of our year long endeavor to rebirth the former abortion clinic as a place of pro-life ministry.

Here is some interesting background on Fort Wayne’s abortionist, Ulrich George Klopfer.

Here are our former Executive Director’s thoughts on a necessary new direction for the “Culture War” as he retired from 20 years in pro-life leadership.

Here is our take on TEA parties

Here is the reason life is worth living on this fallen planet

Here is the first of a three part series on the powerful  Indiana judge who ordered a death sentence for an Indiana newborn almost 30 years ago.

Here is the most important foundational issue facing our legal system in America.

Here is one of our many posts on President Obama’s coming culture war

Thanks for stopping by. The tiles above reveal more on the big picture of what the ArchAngel Institute is all about. Putting the cookies on the bottom shelf, we are a band of dedicated Christians endeavoring to do ministry out of a former abortion clinic as three ArchAngels would see fit. And thereby please our Lord and Savior.

Won’t you join us? See “aiding and abetting” for details on how you can.

I (Bryan) attended a seminar put on by the National Association of Attorneys General in Washington, D.C., a few years ago.  The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) sent some attorneys over to brief us on the ever growing problem of identity theft and bank fraud.  They spoke of biometrics — systems that tied identify directly to the person.  Physical descriptions have been so used since the dawn of time.  (Cain?  Oh, he is the fellow with the pronounced brow ridge over there.  Genesis 4:16)  Gender (assuming there are only two), height, weight, eye color, etc.  In the last century we discovered finger, thumb and hand prints. After that it was iris patterns and facial recognition software. 

Most all of this was discussed by the FTC agents.  They then spoke of a future system that would guarantee that merchants would never be fooled by identity theft, assuring a much more certain economy.  Especially for online trading.

Afterward I sought them out and asked this question:  ”Given personal computers with fingerprint access, am I correct that all of the technology now exists to solve this problem, it is only the political will to make it happen that is lacking?” 

Yes, was the reply.

And, I asked, “is that political will not a concern about a Big Brother State, and especially given the writings found in the last book of the Bible about a mark to buy and sell?”

Yes, they admitted, that is the source of much of the social resistance to biometrics.

I then told my friends that the system would come out of the East, for Asia had no such platform of individual rights, fear of Big Brother and concern about divine revelation via the Bible.

At the risk of thinking stereotypically, I have to share my opinion that this verse just does not mean all that much to the governments of China or India:

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…and his number is Six hundred & sixty-six. (Rev.13:15-18)

Click here for a news report on that I see as a major plank in the the soon coming global biometric plan.  It is already begun in China and India.  Here is how it will spread:   First on paper, and then as implants.  The global positioning satellites are flying overhead.  The technology is here.   As “terror” and identity fraud spreads across the dying West such biometrics will also spread.  First as the “census” to get all enrolled, just like before the first coming of Christ, and then as a database tied to the government’s internet to track us all for purposes of social control.

Need some inspiration after all of that?  May I suggest a careful reading of this?

Want to network about all of this?  Then drop by the ArchAngel Institute between 11 am and 1 pm on July for our low tea at high noon celebration.  See two posts down for more details.

I had promised commentary on my Princess Bride’s previous letter.   I (Bryan) in blue, Anne in red.

Dear friends,

***

The *** bar application for Bryan [has been] unusually expensive and time consuming, but he has patiently done all *** have asked of him. Bryan actually completed all the *** required testing and interviews by the end of 2008, and hoped to take the February bar exam.

***  ACTUALLY, I have taken strong issue with some of the process, slowing down forward progress to ensure that the Indiana Constitution and considerations of due process are well respected and adequately explored.  Anytime the government turns to the soft sciences and subjectivist scientists there is a great risk that politics can enter the arena.  This is especially the case when political correctness is near the docket, as it ever is when government administrators are involved these days.

Did I see “these days?”  I meant “these days” as to the Christian Right.  The “these days” of the Marxist Left were fifty years ago.  Back in that day those who were card carrying Marxists could not become licensed attorneys.   They have come along way, baby!  Now a card carrying Marxist could even grow up to become, say, the President of the United States. 

Here is the case that turned the worm for card carrying dialectical materialists (ie marxists):

“‘Mere unorthodoxy (in the field of political and social ideas) does not as a matter of fair and logical inference, negative ‘good moral character.”  Schware v. Board of Bar Examiners, 353 U.S. 232, 238-239, 77 S.Ct. 752, 755-756, 1 L.Ed.2d 796. 

Mr. Schware was a card carrying communist, and due to that fact found himself outside the profession back in the 1950’s. Here is his rap sheet according to the nation’s highest court: 
“The State contends that even though the use of aliases, the arrests, and the membership in the Communist Party would not justify exclusion of petitioner from the New Mexico bar if each stood alone, when all three are combined his exclusion was not unwarranted. We cannot accept this contention. In the light of petitioner’s forceful showing of good moral character, the evidence upon which the State relies-the arrests for offenses for which petitioner was neither tried nor convicted, the use of an assumed name many years ago, and membership in the Communist Party during the 1930’s-cannot be said to raise substantial doubts about his present good moral character. There is no evidence in the record which rationally justifies a finding that Schware was morally unfit to practice law.” Id, 353 U.S. at 246-47 

Thus being a communist, even a law breaking communist, should not keep one from licensure. 

My good people, Bryan and I are more and more convinced every day that this treatment is *** due to Bryan’s activist pro-life background and his loyal faith to the Roman Catholic Church.

*** Anne is convinced of this, as is my father.  I am yet keeping an open mind.  More on why later, but suffice it to say that I have not made this process easier for the Bar Examiners, and, as I have stated before, I share the blame for some of the delay. And …. I did not attend law school in Indiana.  It gets worse.  I am a product of Regent University School of Law … a law school that the Left hates to welcome to any party. Put my pro-life arrests alongside my previous unsettled civil litigation (search Hill on this website) alongside my controversial work at AFA, put alongside riding with PhillKline, put alongside a strong dedication to chivalry, put alongside my strong dedication to open government and the robust exercise of the First Amendment, ;put alongside the founding of the ArchAngel Institute (search Hill on this website), put alongside my relationship with well protected abortionists (search Klopfer or Tiller on this website) put alongside a now-dismissed (last August) ethical complaint filed against me by former Kansas AG Paul Morrison (who was a tool of the Left who unseated PhillKline and terminated me before resigning amidst a sex scandal himself),  put alongside my firm stand for constitutional due process through the processing of my file put alongside my penchant for over analysis and one can find sufficient cause to excuse the time delay  - until 2009.  As I have said repeatedly, I have not made this easy for the Indiana authorities.  Not by intent, but such are the cards that were dealt in this high stakes game.

More on all of this to be explained in the posts ahead of us.

While I may never be an Indiana licensed attorney at this point, the study of why is a great slice of the culture war in America in this hour.  At the end of the day maybe that is all that this exercise is supposed to be, nothing more or less than a blood-stained pillar(whipping post) in an ideological desert.  I have so served as a speedbump or canary in the mines in days gone by, that is for certain. 

At this point that is how I view my travail.  Merely a study in the application of social power.  Orwell called such power “the ability to cause pain.”   Mao said all such power comes out of the barrell of a  gun — a mere question of who rode roughshod over who.  I will use this site to document the use of such power as long as the bills on this site can be paid.

My gift to posterity  — it is pretty much all that I have.

Bryan does not have a history of being a bad attorney at all, quite the opposite, in fact.

***Anne is a bit biased. In the view of Planned Parenthood I am bad by definition, and just drawing breath is, in my case, a bad act.  While with the AFA I argued Saxe v. State College Area School Districtbefore a panel led by then Judge Sam Alito.  Now SCOTUS Justice Alito then struck down that hate speech code with a decision that was later listed as one of his five most consequential as to the “culture wars.”  This anti-religious code was the ”Vermont Model” that was triumphed at the Hates Crime Summits in the late Nineties.    Rest assured that many consider me a bad person for my role in bringing down that darling of the homosexual activists.

I then saddled up as Deputy AG under the ever controversial Phill Kline.  Wow was that a rough ride!  Those who pledge allegiance to Reproductive Rights as the most important and fundamental of rights thus consider me bad by association.  Just riding with Kline got many blacklisted and blackballed, including me and a very fine young investigator who I mentored at the AG’s office and attempted to save from a fate similar to mine in the months after.  

Bad and good are terms heavy with philosophical presuppositions. My wife considers me quite good.  The late George Tiller considered me quite bad, as did the Wichita Eagle, Kansas City Star and abortion profiteers at Planned Parenthood. 

So am I bad or good?  

That really is the bottom line question in this hour.

Mr. Schware was good.  The jury is still out on me.

He does not fit the typical stereotype of attorneys.

*** Right, they usually put money first, I never have, with predictable results.  They usually make money.  We are nearing bankruptcy.  They usually live an easy, rather predictable life.  My road is one far less traveled.***

Bryan has always been thorough and diligent in his work as an attorney, and is an extremely honest person.

*** I did not pay her to say that.***

We all enjoy a good lawyer joke now an then, but they do not apply do my husband.

*** No, but I could be a great sources for a whole new line of such jokes.***

Bryan was told by an Indiana attorney he consulted that his situation is so unique because he’s not being investigated due to a drug, alcohol, sex, or gambling problem, and so the [system] just does not know what to do with him. Sadly, were he being investigated for one of the above, he would have an easier time maintaining status as an Indiana attorney in good standing.

*** True — sins of passion or excesses seem to be much easier to forgive than my sins and trespasses for chivalry.  I would be better positioned were I coming to the court after arrests as a Marxist, or arrests for numerous fraudulent acts of misrepresentation to avoid arrest, or serial adultery (no known code against that in the profession) or advancing cultural pollution such as pornography, abortion, tobacco defense, unfettered access to ammunition, fast food promotion or even, shudder, coal generated electricity.  (Tongue in cheek for the latter categories)

I have done none of those, but still face terrific headwinds. 

Bryan has been questioned and critiqued in a manner that more than suggests his loyalty to the Roman Catholic Church and his activist pro-life background are *** [what some] find most troubling about him.

*** You will probably have to read my book to get all of the stories that will therein be told as to Anne’s point here.  Some amazing discussions have been had.

Suffice it to say this — were I coming from the Left I could make very good use of this well worn quip:
In West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624, 642 (1943) , this Court declared:‘If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.’ 

I think *** are afraid to license my husband because they recognize that he is someone who will fight for justice for not only the unborn, but for all Christians, and for the Constitution of the United States. These are not the groups of people that *** [some special interests] wants defended in Indiana, which is cause for grave concern.

*** My Anne is quite the fighter.  Again, if only I were in Mr. Schware’s position!  Then I would be golden, er make that Soviet Red, for I would be no threat to the modernist status quo.  I am a threat, and that has caused me problems throughout my adult life.  It just seems that some whom I meet are heck bent on helping me  confess to their definition of what is “orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion” or, even at times, coerce me ”to confess by word or act their faith therein.”  OR be termed mentally unstable, that is. ***

 Little Jude needs my attention, so I will keep this short.

*** Little Jude is not so little anymore!  Anne is raising a giant.  His homebirth was documented on this website.***

Bryan and I ask you to join our family in this spiritual battle that is waging between us and ***, and that mirrors many of these types of battles to come, unless we all just decide not to fight these battles! Bryan is in a very unique place right now, and we feel it is exactly where God wants him, and we just need your continued prayers to see this battle through to the end!

*** Yes, please keep praying for us.   We really, really need the prayers on our behalf.  It is all that we are surviving on at the present time***

Please pray with us that Bryan will be allowed to sit for the Indiana July bar exam, and that if that is not to happen that we will be blessed and guided by our Lord Jesus Christ in pursuing justice in this matter!

*** And keeping hope alive***

We are continuing to ask for the intervention of St. Thomas More, and invite you to do the same if you feel so led.

I will keep you updated when there are further developments!

Thomas More was beheaded on July 6.  Stay tuned for developments. 

Love and peace, in Christ, Anne Brown

          Saturday, July 4 is tea time!!!

Join us at 827 Webster Street at high noon on July 4^th for a low tea.  (Iced tea that is!)

It is our understanding that no other tea party is planned for the Fort, and so we will enjoy some patriotic music, readings and then gather at  the Courthouse to pledge our allegiance to the Republic together.  

Come by to network with like minded citizens and wet some tea bags for the good of the Republic. 

We will be running down current projects of the Institute before and after our commemoration, so please drop by if you are interested in what the Institute is all about.

Upon us falls the duty of preserving the past, for post-modernity only wants to pave it over with a New World Order.

The Institute will mark this anniversary of sacrifice with patriotic readings by John R. Brown of the Donegal Corridor, LLC and others.

“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.”

“Never waste a good crisis.”
