Captain Terry M. Hestilow, United
States Army, Retired (Examiner) On Saturday March 23, Terry M. Hestilow, a retired Army officer with nearly 30 years of service under his
belt, posted this letter he sent to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) this week.
Hestilow wants DHS to hand over
their war weapons to the
Department of Defense. The Honorable Senator John
Cornyn, State of Texas
United States Senate
517 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510 Re: Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and that
agencies preparation for war
against citizens of the United
States of America Dear Senator Cornyn, It is with gravest concern that I write
to you today concerning the recent
appropriation of weapons by the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) that can only be understood
as a bold threat of war by that agency, and the Obama
administration, against the citizens
of the United States of America. To
date, DHS has been unwilling to
provide to you, the elected
representatives of the People, justification for recent purchases of
almost 3,000 mine-resistant ambush-
protected (MRAP) armored
personnel carriers, 1.6 billion rounds
of ammunition (with associated
weapons), and other weapons systems, when, in fact, the DHS has
no war mission or war making
authority within the limits of the
United States of America. Significant is the fact that at the
same time the Obama
administration is arming his DHS for
war within the limits of the United
States against the People of the
United States in accordance with his 2008 campaign speech claiming, "We cannot continue to rely only on
our military in order to achieve the
national security objectives that
we've set. We've gotta (sic) have a
civilian national security force that's
just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded [as the United States
military]"-Candidate Barack Obama,
2008. The Obama administration is
deliberately defunding,
overextending, and hollowing the
Department of Defense; the only
legitimate agency of the U.S.
government with a war mission. This act of the Obama
administration stands as a
glaring threat of war against our
nation's citizens! This act of the Obama administration can only be
understood as a tyrannical threat
against the Constitution of the
United States of America! If left
unresolved, the peace loving
citizens who have sworn to defend the United States Constitution
"against all enemies, both foreign
and domestic" are left no option
except to prepare to defend
themselves, and the U.S.
Constitution, against this Administration's "coup" against the
People and the foundations of
liberty fought for and defended for
the past 238 years. We have no
choice if we honor our oaths. The only proper response to this
threat against the American people
is for the representatives of the
People, the members of the U.S.
House and Senate, to demand in
clear terms that the Administration cannot ignore, that the Department of Homeland
Security immediately surrender
their newly appropriated
weapons of war to the
Department of Defense (DoD). Further, since the DHS has
assumed a position in the
Administration to enforce the
tyrannical acts of this president
against the People of the United
States against the limits of the United States Constitution, it
remains for the United States
Congress to exercise its limiting
power in the balancing of powers
established by our founding fathers,
to disestablish and dissolve the DHS as soon as possible. One
needs only to look to the rise of
Adolf Hitler, and his associated DHS
organizations, the SA and the SS, of
1932-1934, to see the outcome of
allowing an agency of government this kind of control over the free
citizens of a nation. The people of
Germany could not have imagined,
until it was too late, the danger of
allowing a tyrant this kind of power.
We must not be so na?ve as to think it will not happen to us as well if we
remain passive toward this power
grab by the Marxist Obama
administration! Finally, for more than two centuries
the nation has lived in peace at
home because of the protections of
our legitimate military and the many
appropriate state and federal law
enforcement agencies, supported by Constitutional courts. We stand
today at a cross-road. Will we allow
this present Administration to
overthrow our United States
Constitution and its legal processes
to amend injustices, or, will we honor our obligations to defend the
Constitution against a "domestic"
enemy? Our Constitution lays out
the proper methods of resolving our
differences; and it does not include
its overthrow by a rogue agency of a Marxist leadership at home. You,
sir, are our constitutionally elected
agent to defend our Constitution at
home. We are counting upon you.
We remain aware, however, of this
present threat and will not expose ourselves as an easy prey to the
authors of the destruction of our
nation. I know that this letter demands
much of you. We elected you
because we, the citizens of the
State of Texas, believe that you are
up to the task at hand and will,
against all threats, honor your oath and office. We are also writing to
your fellow members of the House
and Senate to stand in integrity with
the Constitution and against this
present threat by the Obama
administration and his DHS. We refuse to surrender our
Constitution or our nation! Resolved, Captain Terry M. Hestilow

It is a truly sad and tragic event when a man who has served his country honorably in war is overtaken by crackpottery conspiracy theory bullcrap.
