>I suppose that I should be glad that this RT stuff (below) was 
>posted on PIML so that everyone can see how distorted their logic 
>is.  But the problem is, many people don't read carefully and they 
>just see that RT has noticed some things that need to be corrected 
>about actions of unconstitutional government, so the resultant 
>feeling is the RT must be patriots and, as patriots, they must be 
>right about their claims.  
>
>Nothing could be further from the truth.  I have repeatedly and in 
>great detail proven the RT claims to be without lawful foundation.  
>I have exposed their lies on such things as international 
>recognition of their so-called "government" to be total 
>fabrications with documents that prove the opposite of their 
>claims.  There are currently three separate so-called "provisional 
>governments of the republic of Texas".  All three of these and 
>their "presidents" claim to be the only lawful government of all 
>the land and all the people of Texas.  Yet Robert Kesterson, 
>so-called "secretary of state" of RT #2 ("president" Lowe) writes 
>below "We are not anti-government."  Pardon me, but it seems to me 
>that a home-made so-called "government" that is attempting to 
>overthrow the elected government of the State of Texas is acting 
>in insurrection against the Texas state government, the Texas 
>Constitution, and the people of Texas.  My interest in this is 
>because I am sworn to support and defend the Texas Constitution 
>and the United States Constitution until such time as the people 
>amend those constitutions or enact new ones.
>
>The message below from Robert Kesterson (copied in full for your 
>entertainment) talks a lot about unconstitutional actions by the 
>Texas state government.  But notice what his logic is - 
>apparently, since the state government commits unconstitutional 
>and unlawful actions then it is perfectly justified that it is 
>acceptable for the RT so-called "government" to do the same.  I 
>don't think so.  This is a fine example of the "end justifies the 
>means" philosophy of RT.  Some of the misguided McLaren followers 
>in the RT movement are really patriots.  Unfortunately, they are 
>willing to gloss over the lack of a lawful foundation for RT's 
>claims because they so badly want Texas to be out from under the 
>federal government.  Others of the RT movement appear to be 
>opportunists who think they see a chance to enrich themselves by 
>being on the ground floor of the creation of a new government for 
>Texas.  One of the reasons for the split between so-called RT 
>"governments" #2 and #3 was that some members of the so-called 
>"general council of the provisional government of the republic of 
>Texas" were awarding themselves bank charters under the expected 
>new Texas government.  Bank charters!  As if international bankers 
>were not the root of many of our problems!  But apparently they 
>could see no conflict of interest involved with members of a 
>so-called "government" awarding themselves the only bank charters 
>under an expected new government.

>In reading the message below, please take the time to sort out the 
>truth about unlawful state actions from the logic used to justify 
>unlawful RT actions.  I have no problem in leaving on the address 
>for donations to be sent to the RT; it seems to me to be highly 
>unlikely that anyone would want to send money to these people.

>News, on May 16, ran the following headline on page 1J: "Liens Filed
>by Mistake in Garland -- City plans to withdraw claims on 150 homes."
>The opening paragraph of the article explains "The city mistakenly
>filed liens against 150 homeowners along Duck Creek this year to
>collect $400,000 in taxes that aren't due for the next two years..." 
>
>The liens, filed by the city's engineering department, were based on a
>creek-widening project that is slated to increase the tax bill on
>these homeowners -- but not until 1999. Assistant City Manager Danny
>Wheat said that "The engineering department did what they always do
>when assesssments are levied."

>How were these bogus liens uncovered? It seems a resident of the area
>went to sell his house and was shocked to learn there was a lien
>against it! 
>
>Residents of the area are angry at the city, not only for their
>mistake, but for having a tax laid against them in the first place.
>One twelve-year resident who discovered a $3,100 lien against his
>property, said "Evidently someone down there doesn't know the law.
>Maybe they didn't consult their attorney. This is just another form of
>harassment as far as I'm concerned on the part of the city. It's

>But at least the people in Garland have it easier than the people in
>Hurst, another city near Dallas. There, several unhappy homeowners are
>about to have their homes destroyed by the city. What is the cause for
>this blatant disregard for private property rights? A university? A
>hospital? A church? No. These homes are being destroyed to make room
>for a shopping mall! John Boyle, an attorney for the City of Hurst,
>stated that there were some 200 homes to be destroyed to make room for
>the mall, and that all but about ten of these homeowners have been
>"bought out" by the City. It seems that ten of the homeowners simply
>didn't want to move, refused to accept the city's bribe (buyout
>offer), and instead filed suit against the city to stop the demolition
>of their homes.

>However, a de facto judge ruled that the city can claim the
>homeowners' property under "a right of eminent domain." Since the city
>presumes that building yet another shopping mall will be a benefit to
>the city, the rights of the homeowners can be disregarded and the
>property seized. The homeowners now face having their homes demolished
>by bulldozers on June 6th. Why? Has there been a crime committed? Has
>the Bill of Rights been repealed? What of the great American Dream of
