Billy Joe Roper

 

Billy Joe Roper, April 11, 1972 (Morrilton, Ark.) -

VP candidate for Free Nation Party (2016)

Running mate with nominee: Bruce John Kenneway (b. 1956)
Popular vote: ? (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538

The campaign:

Billy "Future Race Conscious White Mister President" Roper of Russellville, Ark. founded the group White Revolution in 2002 after being purged from the neo-Nazi National Alliance. The vision of leading a unified racist effort fizzled and White Revolution was dismantled in 2011. Meanwhile, Roper had started another entity, the Nationalist Party of America and had run for Governor of Arkansas under that banner in 2010. He had also shifted to the Christian Identity movement as well as the KKK via Thomas Robb's Knights Party.

Roper ran for President for the 2012 election. The NPA platform included the following. Of particular interest is the section on military service--

--Abolition of the Internal Revenue Service, the Income Tax, and all Property Taxes. We support the creation of a national sales tax of 23% to fund the federal government.
--A 10-year moratorium on all legal immigration at a level below 250,000 per year.
--A 2000-mile double-line electric fence and barricade wall between the United States and Mexico, delineating a patrolled frontier zone occupied by U.S. military forces.
--A federally legislated end to all social welfare benefits for illegal aliens, except for emergency medical services.
--A crackdown on major businesses that chronically hire illegal aliens and the elimination of deductibility for all wages paid to illegals.
--A federal law to restate the true meaning of the 14th Amendment through inclusion of a clause limiting natural born citizenship to the children of legal U.S. citizens.
--A policy allowing legal immigrants to bring in only spouses and minor dependent children to the United States.
--An end to dual citizenship in the United States and any other country.
--A deportation program beginning with all aliens convicted of felonies and every gang member who is not a citizen of the United States, and continuing with all aliens who are in the United States illegally.
--Citizenship
Full citizenship, including the right to vote, will be granted only to those who complete four years of armed forces or Home Guard service from the age of eighteen to twenty-two. Upon completion of the National Service requirement, all citizens are considered members of the standing militia.
--Military
No male can enlist in any combat or combat-related duty in the armed forces of the United States unless he has a son to carry on his name. Further, no females can enlist in the armed forces but as nurses, doctors, or other non-combat related roles. Homosexuals and non-citizens will be prohibited from serving in the military. The Home Guard, similar in duty to the National Guard, but not deployable overseas, may include males without male offspring. Home Guard service will also satisfy National Service citizenship requirements, and rank may be transferred to the regular armed forces if and when a male heir is born.
--Traditional Values
Marriage will be defined as the legal union and partnership of a man and a woman. Domestic partnerships between homosexuals will not be recognized by law.
--Monetary Policy
The United States dollar will return to the gold standard, rather than existing as fiat currency. The Federal Reserve, currently a private banking and lending institution, will be nationalized and regulated according to our nation's best interests. Unsecured lines of credit, such as credit cards issued by banks, will be legally limited to interest rates not to exceed double the interest rates of secured lines of credit offered by the same institutions. Usury, the practice of charging exorbitant interest rates or fees on monetary loans, will become a criminal offense.
--World Government.
The Nationalist Party opposes United States membership in any organization which in any way infringes on the sovereignty of the United States and its citizens.
--Foreign Trade.
The Nationalist Party is for cutting off all trade, aid and "recognition" of a state which denies its citizens the right to leave and take their property with them.   
--Second Amendment
The Nationalist Party shall strongly support the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. America is one of the few nations on earth with the right to keep and bear arms. That right is largely responsible for our independence and sovereignty. Our enemies envy us our success and would deny it so that we become reduced to their level. We wholeheartedly support 2nd Amendment rights as guaranteed by the United States Constitution and as given to us by Almighty God. We hold this to be an individual's right. No law is legitimate that restricts this right. In keeping with this belief, we will call for repeal of all Federal Gun legislation and nullification of all state laws that are not in accordance with an individual's Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. As a foundation block of the Constitution, it is imperative this freedom remain unhindered so our liberty and independence remain unfettered. The Nationalist Party must actively work to impeach any politician or judge who would deny the Second amendment since he is not upholding his oath "…to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States," and would allow the tyranny of government to prevail. The Second Amendment is the ultimate persuader against a politician or party intent upon domestic mischief or skullduggery.

Needless to say Roper was on the radar of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who gathered together some quotes clarifying Roper's positions--

"Every non-White on the planet has to become extinct. We need to remove these minor-league amateur races out of the game, and refine the playoff brackets a bit, if you get my meaning. The whole world is ours, and the only part of the earth that non-Whites should inherit is however much it requires to cover them."
— January 2005 interview on Blood & Honour Radio

"I'm a biological racist. I'd rather have the entire species become extinct except for one white boy and one white girl who were raised by a pack of wild wolves, than our race go under and the world [be] inherited by Asians and mulattos who can play the classical violin and recite Shakespeare."
— June 2003 essay in White Revolution Report

"The enemy of our enemy is, for now at least, our friends. We may not want them marrying our daughters, just as they would not want us marrying theirs. We may not want them in our societies, just as they would not want us in theirs. But anyone who is willing to drive a plane into a building to kill jews [sic] is alright [sic] by me. I wish our members had half as much testicular fortitude."
— Sept. 11, 2001, E-mail to National Alliance membership celebrating Al Qaeda attacks on the World Trade Center just minutes earlier

During the course of the campaign Roper had unsuccessfully sought the nomination of the Boston Tea Party.

At some point in 2012 Roper suspended his campaign and endorsed Merlin Miller of the American Third Position.

In Dec. 2015 Roper joined forces with Paul Mullet of Bainbridge, Ohio to form Divine Truth Ministries, where Roper said they would be "carrying forward the ideals and values of Aryan Nations under a new banner." The SPLC quoted the group's mission as-- "to establish a new Republic of the United Aryan States, for our racial brothers and sisters in the current Mongrelized United States of America," and "(To deprogram) [sic] and reinstall our Racial culture, heritage, pride and destiny of our White Race."

Around that same time, Roper shared his view of the Trump campaign in an interview with The Saturnalian--

My views on Donald Trump’s campaign are similar to those espoused by Bob Whitaker when he was asked the same question in the Independent Political Report article. To wit, I don’t think that Trump is legitimately any kind of Jacksonian populist as he presents himself to be. It is fascinating that he has transferred celebrity status into political prowess through using the media attention his admittedly masterful hyperbolic statements demand. His appeals to the third of the Republican base at the working class White grassroots is cynical, but effective. What I find most interesting about his campaign is the way that it has forced (not in a vacuum as the simultaneous abdication of the establishment in the Senate leadership) the donor class of the GOP into impotency…and not because of the deep pockets that he’s famous for, but rather by using the way that the old boy network turned over the reins of the party apparatus to superPAC funding. That’s ironic. What coverage he hasn’t been given gratis has been paid for through voluntary small donor funding from his base. I think that, with the last two full cycle elections demonstrating the loss of the electoral majority by Whites in this country, none of us would have anticipated that a national candidate espousing some views as far to the right as his resonate would have gained this much traction. So, despite his obvious insincerity, his campaign has brought to the forefront the immigration debate once again, and given an outlet, steam pressure release valve safety though it might be, to a portion of the electorate which had frankly felt itself becoming disenfranchised. And speaking to that, perhaps the establishment knows that they benefit from keeping the increasingly disgruntled descendants of those who founded this nation to secure the blessings of liberty for them, and not the descendants of Asia or Africa or Mexico or, God forbid, Syria, involved in the electoral process, rather than marginalizing them into accepting the 1775 alternative to the ballot box. One might even say that there is a strong anti-establishment meme from both ends against the middle. I could see some Sanders supporters finding common ground on economic issues with Trump voters, for example. I’m still not sure that Trump will be the Republican nominee. Who else but Donald might make Cruz seem palatable by comparison to the desperate GOP establishment? But his campaign has shifted the dialectic to the right for the portion of the party who had almost despaired, believing that if elections could still change anything, they would have already been made illegal. Depending on whether one believes that multiracial democracy can fly or that it must fall, that is either a glimmer of hope, or the greatest of disservices. We’ll see next year, I reckon.

In July 2016, Roper revealed a secret about his past--

I have a confession to make. When I was an undergrad, I was in College Republicans. I even sunk so low as to work on Mike Huckabee’s first failed Senatorial campaign, in 1992. Ah, youthful hope and enthusiasm. You see, back then I was still naively optimistic about the potential of saving America from breakup, through, gasp, Conservatism. Blame it on Ronald Reagan, who shook my hand when I was twelve and put silly thoughts in my head. Thoughts like “Constitution” and “Freedom”. Don’t worry, I feel a lot better, now. I know that the breakup is inevitable, and so I can more calmly sit back and enjoy the show.

At the start of 2016 Roper's name was listed as the VP for Bruce Kenneway of Maine, a former fellow activist with the Nationalist Party of America. It isn't clear if Roper's permission was obtained, since he didn't really appear to be involved in the electioneering. Kenneway's campaign webpage included a platform--

trump is a better choice for President than clinton.BJK. Mr. Donald is being more fact-full/authentic than Ms. Hillary is.

What actions I will take when President

1.) kosher food/goods tax will be sued in federal courts and all state courts. genetic-jews fund their religion Judaism and synogogues by violating federal anti-trust law thru embezzlement. rabbi goes to company blesses candy,soda,milk,bread,hard goods (plastic food wraps) etc;then manufacturer is required to send check to nearest rabbinical center,the company then passes this added cost onto us the consumers with higher food+goods prices at cash register.the genetic-jews then use the money to also fund PAC's which pay-off politicians to vote in favor of the genetic-jews deleterious to the majority of us social programs.we who worship other than Judaism must pull cash money from deep within our jeans pockets to fund our church whichs called tithing whichs HONEST.used to be in stores all kosher food+goods were kept in certain areas so we could avoid those products and not fund someone elses religion and the corruption of our politicians; and pay lower prices at the cash register.

2.) All sex-offenders will be imprisoned; including: Catholic Priests and rabbis

3.) Install Honest Transparent government

​4.) Sue in federal court to  stop dual citizenship

5.) Replace Supreme Court with: Thee twenty-three; a Roundtable of eleven White-Men and twelve White-Women
Overwhelming number of people who: founded, fought and died for, and built USA were White, And today the overwhelming majority who fight and die for and build USA are White

6.) creation of good jobs with great benefits, and the defense of our way of life as white people who founded the USA  is my #1 priority
​
May soros, buffett, gates, greenspan, m.cuban (who used federal anti trust law violating actions to get his cash, recently won a court battle using high power dishonest lawyers who presented to dishonorable dishonest judges ), zuckerberg, clinton, and the like reenter thru the Gates Of Hell which's their home and their father lucifer the deceiver and murderer resides;,:

u all will pay ur share of taxes. u will be sued in federal and state courts. u will no longer be allowed to very sneakily use the quality of life and freedoms destroying (for us the working people) federal anti trust law violating technique ​of shirking ur taxes by moving ur cash (which must be tax monies just like the rest of us) into not for profits which, without a single vote!, change/shape our quality of life, way of life, and our freedoms most importantly: our free speech;,:

​u will pay ur share of taxes and our duly elected by us (the working people), Honorable Congress will continue to shape and preserve our society and American way of life. We voted for our Honorable (state+federal) Congressmen (state+federal senators and state+federal representatives), WE DID NOT VOTE FOR  u SCUMBAG devils DRESSED UP TO BE PRESENTED TO US AS THE GOOD GUYS WHEN IN FACT u R devils DRESSED IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING period

Who is communist-like Clinton to state that Honorable Congress will be ignored when she forces through new Gun Laws, if President?

​Torture is NEVER an option;,: we as human beings will ALWAYS follow honorable rules of engagement. BJK - USMC; daddio; scholar...

trump is a better choice for President than clinton.BJK. Mr. Donald is being more fact-full/authentic than Ms. Hillary is.

Presidents of OUR USA need not be dishonest and slickery (slippery/slick) in order to install laws which Presidents and their owners (ie: George soros, warren buffet, gates, limbaugh (slimebaugh, who stated that the deaths of children are no more important than the deaths of adults in our political decisions (that's insane)) etc) believe is best for US, the American people.

We, the American people know what's best for US and OUR FREEDOMS, and we will vote for changes in the law, retracting laws, or installing new laws. Federal and state judges will stop overruling what we the people vote for; that is the final straw toward revolution; when scumbag judges overrule the peoples vote, which has happened many times in California and all across our great land period  

we must stop doing business with Israel until Israel stops doing genetic testing of human beings who apply for citizenship to Israel. the testing proves alleles of genetic-jew heritage or that human being is not allowed to become a citizen of Israel. genetic-jews are a distinct Asiatic race. @OpenBordersForIsrael at Twitter.com and facebook.com/openbordersforisrael so they can get a taste of diversity which they force upon us in OUR USA.

when president: I will sue in federal and state courts to breakup control and ownership monopoly of major media which violates anti-trust law, and in a bad way: psychologically conditions people.

The Kenneway/Roper ticket did not seem to be registered as write-ins in any state.

Kenneway also ran for President in 2020 and is campaigning for 2024.

Conan William Salada

 

Conan William Salada, January 19, 1979 -

VP candidate for New Hampshire Liberty Party (aka Libertarian Party aka Non Affiliated) (2016)

Running mate with nominee: Darryl W. Perry (b. 1978)
Popular vote: 3 (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538

The campaign:

Hailing from the hardcore Puritan wing of the Libertarian Party, Alabama-raised Darryl Perry relocated to Keene, N.H. possibly due to the lure of the Free State Project, a long-term plan to populate the small jurisdiction with enough libertarian-minded voters to create a significant impact in municipal and state government.

In addition to being active with the Libertarian Party, Perry had also been involved with the ill-fated Boston Tea Party and was a co-founder in 2012 of the New Hampshire Liberty Party, described by some sources as a secessionist group.

In 2016 Perry was one of the contenders for the Libertarian Party nomination for President. Expressing disappointment with the eventual winners, he announced on Sept. 16, 2016 that he was running on his own--

Darryl W. Perry Announces Limited Presidential Write-In Campaign

Keene, NH – Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate, Darryl W. Perry, announced today his intention to launch a limited write-in campaign for the 2016 US Presidential Race.

When radio personality, libertarian activist, and CEO of Liberty Lobby LLC, Darryl W. Perry, embarked on his Presidential Campaign, he did so with three goals in mind: 1) to run the most libertarian presidential campaign in history; 2) to proclaim the ideas of liberty as boldly and as often as possible; and 3) to give as many people as possible the opportunity to vote for an actual libertarian in November.

After the 2016 Libertarian Party National Convention in Orlando, Florida, Perry issued a statement saying he had “accomplished two-thirds of the goals I set for my campaign. I ran the most consistent libertarian campaign to date, and I took every opportunity, including my well-received Concession Speech, to promote the ideas of liberty.”

Perry, who was officially endorsed by the NH Liberty Party at their convention in February, added, “While my original intention was to either continue my campaign through the November election or support an LP ticket with actual philosophical libertarians, the Libertarian National Convention left me emotionally drained. I will not be continuing my campaign through November.”

Since then, numerous people have asked for a way to give people the ability to vote for a philosophical libertarian for President. Due to the numerous instances of the Libertarian Party Presidential ticket running in opposition to the LP Platform, including supporting limitations of the 2nd Amendment rights of people on secret lists, new forms of taxation, and statements against freedom of association, Perry decided to file declarations of intent to be a write-in candidate in a handful of states where a slate of electors is not required. The laws in another eight states claim all write-in votes are valid. Meaning that on November 8, 2016, voters in 17 states (AL, AK, DE, IA, ID, KS, MT, NE, NH, NJ, OR, PA, RI, VT, WA, WV, WY) plus DC, will have the ability to cast a vote – albeit a write-in – for an actual libertarian, Darryl W. Perry. This means Perry potentially has access to 114 Electoral College votes.

Between now and election day, Darryl’s focus will remain at the state and local level where more opportunities exist to affect positive change. In addition, the Darryl W. Perry Presidential Campaign does not intend to raise any funds or have any expenditures towards this limited write-in campaign. Perry says, “I do not make this decision lightly, however I have the ability to not let another election cycle go by without a philosophical libertarian candidate in the general election. Finally, I encourage everyone, including members of the Libertarian Party, to follow their conscience when they cast their ballot in the Presidential election.”

Perry's platform was classic Libertarian except perhaps that instead of limiting the federal government he called for it to be "abolished." His platform introductory summary as presented on his campaign website--

I believe…
…that all coercive forms of taxation should be eliminated, and government programs should be funded voluntarily.
…that people should be allowed to travel freely without government interference; this includes the right of individuals to choose where they decide to live.
…in the right of self-determination; that is the right of “determination by the people of a territorial unit of their own future political status.”
…that every person and/or group of people should be allowed to decide for themselves if and/or how they will be governed.
…that men do not need leaders, we are all capable of leading ourselves. Governments only get in the way of allowing this to happen.
…that the United States government, as it exists today, should be abolished!

On the last point the actual platform elaborated--

 Governments should be transparent and free of corruption. I believe the Downsize DC Agenda is one methods for bringing about this reform.
 Further, all individuals have the god-given right to life, liberty & pursuit of happiness, whenever governments become destructive of these rights, the people have the right to alter or abolish it. The federal government has been destroying rights since 1791, therefore I believe that the federal government should be abolished!

...  I fully support the right of self-determination; that is the right of “determination by the people of a territorial unit of their own future political status.” Though there are no established guidelines regarding how a group of people exercise their right of self-determination. During the 1860’s several States attempted to leave the United States of America, several counties in these States took secession one step further and seceded from their seceding State. It was this act of self-determination that allowed West Virginia to become a State, it also led to several “Free State’s” throughout the Confederacy.

 The United States of America was founded on the principles of self-determination. Not only has the U.S. government violated the self-determination rights of the Native Americans, but also the people of Hawai’i, Guam, Puerto Rico and many other people who have become dependent on the U.S. government. I believe that every person and/or group of people should be allowed to decide for themselves if and/or how they will be governed.

In the course of the campaign Perry was elected to the position of chair of the New Hampshire Libertarian Party, which put the New Hampshire Liberty Party on the back burner-- not exactly inactive and waiting to be fully revived depending on the political winds.

Perry's running-mate and fellow activist Conan Salada, also seems to have moved to Keene from the South as part of the Free State Project, which conjures an image of carpetbaggers in reverse. Salada wasted no time in running for public office, oddly under the banner of the Democratic Party for the Legislature. He addressed the party affiliation on July 29, 2016--

I’m pleased to announce that I am running for NH State Rep, Cheshire county district 7, Keene ward 4. Some of you may be wondering why I am running as a Democrat as opposed to a party more aligned with my ideology. This is because of the difficulty getting 3rd party candidates on the ballot. No, I’m not trying to hijack the Democratic Party. Perhaps one year I’ll find the extra time to collect 150 signatures and run on a liberty party ticket, or maybe, if elected, I’ll have the much needed opportunity to tweak NH’s ballot access laws which currently favors the monopoly held by the D’s and the R’s.

Perry/Salada were registered write-ins in at least 8 states but not all of these report their write-in vote tallies in detail. In the event of their victory there would have existed a potential problem regarding the Constitution since both candidates were residents of the same state.

On a Feb. 8, 2018 Facebook post, the New Hampshire Liberty Party stated--

We're still in hibernation - watching the LP of NH's potential board changes at this upcoming convention of theirs.  If things make a turn for the worse there, look for us to come back.  Meanwhile, the LP of NH has been doing great, so hopefully that will continue.

During the course of the campaign Roper had unsuccessfully sought the nomination of the Boston Tea Party.

Early in the campaign the NPA website listed Vernon McNew as Roper's VP. But by May 2011 his name had been replaced by that of Russell Howard, who was introduced to voters thusly--

Russell Howard
Candidate for Vice President of the United States

Mr. Howard was chosen not least of all because of his tireless activism and promotion of the cause of White racial survival through the internet, with the creation of the White Aryan Survival Project (WASP), a facebook-based recruiting and educational tool which has survived many attempts at censorship, due to his leadership. Not being affiliated with any particular White Nationalist organization, Russell is unencumbered by any divided loyalties, but has achieved a growing name recognition throughout the patriot community. Finally, the two candidates know one another personally, have worked together before, broken bread together, and trust one another, so they enter this partnership as a team.

At some point in 2012 Roper suspended his campaign and endorsed Merlin Miller of the American Third Position. Roper's later activity will be covered in the 2016 election as well when I get there.

Fred Donald Dickson Jr.

 

Fred Donald Dickson Jr., August 5, 1960 -  

VP candidate for Independent (2012)

Running mate with nominee: Barbara Joy Waymire (1952-2018)
Popular vote: 0 (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538

The campaign:

Barbara Joy "Joy" Waymire of Tulelake, Calif. filed with the FEC as a Libertarian in Dec. 2011. After an unsuccessful attempt at gaining the Presidential nomination of that party in May 2012 she continued as an Independent. Her running-mate was Fred Donald Dickson Jr. of Chestertown, Md., who had previously filed as a write-in with the Maryland State Board of Elections in Apr. 2011 in his own quest for the Presidency.

The introduction to Waymire's webpage explains how her campaign took shape--

“Miss Joy Waymire for President, 2012”
& Fred Dickson Jr for V.P.
 
Our entire campaign is based completely in Faith; not the ways of men. Money is of men, so we seek No Donations.  All it takes is Faith to climb on board. Our Faith has grown to conviction; how strong is yours?
 
The time has come to set the People FREE once more from the yoke of enslavement, brought about by a government that serves itself, not the people they were elected to serve.  Restoring this Nation back to what Our Founding Father’s envisioned when writing the Declaration of Independence.
 
I’ve known since 2008 that I would be upon this path, for I serve the Lord, thy God and His People.  I have no self-desires, for my will is my Lord’s Will.  In doing so, I receive great pleasure not always of my choosing; Fulfilling me with love, joy, compassion towards all humanity.

With great patience, I waited for the Lord to connect me with the proper candidate; and my patience was well worth it. For Fred has said that I have confirmed everything he thought to be true; but that I have a far greater depth of knowledge and understanding.
 
I am still awaiting Fred's Bio and other facts so they can be added to the website. This is what I know so far; 52 years of age; a Mason; a Knight of the Templar; Jack of All, Master of some; Husband, Father and a strong Faith and Conviction.  I am so humbled and honored to have such a running mate at my side as I continue on this path I have been set upon.
 
Blessings to each and everyone; near and far; the world over; be ye believers or non-believers; in the name of my Lord, thy God.

Waymire also provided an autobiography on her campaign website--

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

To comprehend my conviction of Faith in this campaign, let me give you a brief Spiritual biography of my life, beginning the night before I came into this world.

On June 10th of 1952, my mother’s doctor had a vision that he would deliver a baby with the cord around its neck. The next day my mother went into labor.  Having trouble, he decided to check for the cord and sure enough it was around my neck. An emergency cesarean section was done, at which time the doctor discovered the cord was around my neck three times and tied in a double-slip knot (hangman’s noose).  I arrived a month early, weighing in at 3 lbs 15 oz and 17.5 inches long.

I will not go into all the times I almost lost my life during this first year or throughout my lifetime, but will skip a few years ahead to my playmate that only I could see.  I called her “Becky”  as I could not say her full name.  She taught me the ways of the Lord and showed me many things still to come.  But unfortunately, at a young age of perhaps 4, I had a limited vocabulary so my mother thought it was all make believe.  I’m sure what I learned lead to my questioning the teachings of the church at the age of twelve.  Because of this, I stopped sharing what I was told, but I followed every word until I was 16.5 yrs old.

At that time, in Oct someone poisoned my two cats.  The next month a new friend was found drowned in her pool.  But the straw that broke me was the murder of the first love of my life. That is when I got angry at God; after heeding every word without question, I did not comprehend why the things most precious to me were taken away.  I told God that He would have to prove Himself to me before I would ever follow Him again.  The next 13 years I was sent many signs, but I refused them saying they were not good enough. I wanted undisputable proof, & once I got that, I began listening again.  I had forgotten that everything happens for a reason in my anger and grief.

In the early 1980’s, I awoke one morning to find a red circle in the palm of each hand.  When my then spouse saw these, the light in his eyes went out and darkness took over.  He became a different person from the one I knew; Very angry, mean, vicious and violent at times.  But I believed I could bring him back so I stayed with him for 13 years. I had forgotten that only he could bring himself back into the light.

In 1986, I received hepatitis C from blood transfusions upon having a hysterectomy.  Of course, this was not discovered until 1992; unable to explain my symptoms till then.  I knew I was ill for a specific reason and I did not question why, but waited patiently to learn the reason.  During this time, the Lord told me of many things; some I even laughed in His face saying: That would be a miracle! Why would you want to do that?  He’d say, you’ll see.  I kept all that my Lord was telling me to myself, for some things I shared scared people and others became overshadowed by darkness.  So I began keeping it all to myself until I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that everything my Lord was telling me, was the absolute truth.

My illness had put me into an electric wheelchair by June of 2003.  I wore tri-focals, had diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, COPD, a form of rheumatoid arthritis, chronic nausea and vomiting, and more.  I moved to a new area in November of 2003.  For the next two summers, I began using the association pools but my health began failing.

My doctors tried to tell me it was all in my head; said to just take lithium and I’ll be happy all day through. I refused, for I knew something was wrong but did not know what.  In June of 2006, my family came to visit and upon going to use the pools, found them contaminated. I let the association president know and a cleaning crew was out in the morning. But when the pools were opened within two hours, I began doing some research.

I discovered that there is one bacteria that takes up to 8 hours to kill and someone with a compromised immune system is more susceptible.  I finally believed the reason for my illness was to save the lives of the 181 families in the association from this self-serving minister, president of the H.O.A.  I got the number to the person who would handle my final arrangements, but before I could call, my mother called.  I told her I was dying and making my final arrangements that day.

Before I could make my call, a surge of energy, life filled my body.  25 years of listening had begun to come to fruition. Things I’d never done before began to occur such as: automatic writing, spiritual travels, stigmata and more things in line with the Spiritual realm.  One thing I wrote as an example; was that the polygamist, Jeff Jetts would be caught that year. He was, three months later.

Things deemed impossible by mankind, I’ve experienced; Such as going to bed one night at my normal 132 lbs, but waking to be only 107.  Another morning waking to find that my feminine attributes were gone; Chest as I was at 16 years of age and my bubble rear-end now flat. Not much of a waist left either. I just know I looked up and said, I sure don’t know what you are doing to me, but you must know what you are doing.  I accepted the changes, yet did not understand them as yet.

About the middle of July of 2006, I awoke in the morning to find two blood red/purple marks on my feet; same spot on each; Nothing to explain how they got there.  They faded away in 6 weeks.  Or on another morning after waking from a Spiritual journey to find a partially healed spear wound in my inner left thigh.  That left within days.

Towards the end of July, I was commanded to read the Book of Revelations. I began to argue saying: I never understood it before, so why would I now?  But I finally gave in and began to read.  Within a few sentences, I knew what I was reading but could not put it into words.

Upon finishing the Book, the Lord then told me to write down the months and years of the 5 events spoken of.  I refused stating that No man may know that.  My refusal earned me a black rose thorn in the palm of my right hand.  Again I was asked and again I refused.  Each of my 5 refusals subjected me to 5 black rose thorns in my right palm.  Upon writing down as I was told, the thorns disappeared back into my palm.

Now the greatest stigmata that occurred, was witnessed by two others.  At the stroke of midnight on December 1st, 2006, I felt like I had been dipped into the icy waters of the river Jordan, but I wasn’t cold.  Then my breast-bone began to dissolve away. A sink hole the size of a half of grapefruit appeared below where the breast-bone should be.  You could feel three separate heartbeats on the edge of the hole; left, right, & below.  My ribs all broke away, giving the appearance of those that had been buried a long time.

But worst of all, I was stripped of every explanation of the physical realm, leaving me with just the Lord’s Word.  I felt lost as I could no longer explain any of it.  At the end of 3.5 days, the sink hole mostly filled back in and my ribs returned. But now my ribs no longer had a curve to them like you see on a skeleton. My ribs now form a Vee on each side.

Then another stigmata began; It felt like six penny nails were being driven into my head; Worst than a migraine, yet bearable.  I knew I had forgotten something in time and if I did not recapture what I had lost, I would go insane.  I had to make a repeat drive down the California coast, the last trip made with my father when I was 16.  During this trip, many memories came flooding back; Lessons to be relearned from the passing of time.

Six months later my jaw bones changed shape as well. The dentist has not seen anything like it in the history of medicine. No explanation to be found.  They cannot explain the healing of all my health problems. My eyes are again 20/20 yet I had the worst astigmatism ever seen. Normal lung & liver functions, yet was at stage 4 cirrhosis and COPD.

I finally knew why the events of 1968 had occurred. My Lord had to close me off from Him so I could learn the ways of men; learn what had happened in time. Only then could I yield the Sword of Truth to discern between right and wrong as given by the Lord, thy God.

I could tell of many other experiences, but there is not time to go into full details.  Just follow over the course of the campaign trail before you make a final decision. My integrity and conviction will speak for itself.

The last two verses of John 15 and the first 25 of John 16, tell who I am and why I was sent; To shew into remembrance that which was taught; as I was present with Christ then, as He is present with me today.

Interestingly, she added this bit of third party VP trivia that was news to me: "In 2008, I was asked to be the V.P. on a Green/Libertarian ticket; V.P. on the Boston Tea Party ticket in CA; and was also asked to be V.P. on the Catholic-Trotsky ticket.  It was an honor to be asked and I truly considered it, but I turned each of them down." I find myself particularly surprised by the mention of "the Catholic-Trotsky ticket," but the entity appears to be super elusive as I seek information about it.

Waymire's platform included: deport illegal immigrants -- end the Mideast wars -- eliminate the Federal Reserve -- reduce government regulations -- encourage people to live within their means and not coast on credit -- end government-run education -- support charter schools -- "the creation of a 'Medical Coverage' account, similar to that of IRA’s, with monthly amounts to be contributed, according to each individuals needs" -- approved of the criminal punishment hardline methods of Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona -- reduce Congressional salaries -- Impose term limits.

It isn't really clear how Waymire connected with Dickson, but she took two weeks to slowly roll out the announcement--

Running mate has been set

Posted By Miss Joy

This is to say that a running mate has been found to form a write-in ticket. Another old soul connected in time. Before we ever spoke, he had a dream/vision of voting for Joy & his name.  When he woke & shared with his wife & he found out she had the exact same dream; as did his 20 yr old son & a few others he knows. He believes, as I do, that the Lord has brought us together, for a specific purpose.

We spent 3 hours on the phone Tuesday morning; a most enjoyable time, for I did not have to explain things in detail; he knew what I was saying. He had also told me he knew who I was without being weirded out. LOL... Nice to be known outside of this physical form.  Just as I have said before, he too said; Do we need to win? Not at all. We are to spread a message.

As you probably noticed, I have not mentioned his name. Once all is set, a formal announcement will be made along with some other important news.  Such as the schedule for "Unity Debates" among the various write-in candidates & more, as we move forward on the path ahead.

Remember, a Divided Nation will NEVER Stand Strong!  This is One Nation, One People; time to start acting the part by setting aside your differences & coming together for the common good of All People.

Wishing all a most Glorious day & Blessings to thee; near & far; believers & non-believers alike; in the name of my Lord, thy God.

Introducing Running mate
July 24, 2012 07:25:54
Posted By Miss Joy

As you can see, I have made some changes to the blog & will be adjusting the campaign website as well shortly.  My running mate will have surgery at 6 am RFT to remove a silver dollar sized cancer growth on his head.  But his faith, conviction and the connection we have made (due to the Lord's directing) have come to full circle on the path the Lord has set us upon.

I can tell you a bit of information, but am waiting his recovery for him to forward his bio, photo, etc.  His name is: Fred Donald Dickson, Jr. and he resides in Maryland.  He is 52 years of age, a Mason, a Knight of the Templar, a Jack of All, yet Master of some. He was the first person to undergo a new procedure for those with tongue, jaw, throat, and lymph cancer, many years ago.  His faith kept leading him from this person than to another; until this procedure was laid open to him.

I thought I could find links to his personal story that has been in print, among other things; but could find very little so far. So I will wait until he sends me what I wait for.  But it was like De Ja Vu when he said, Do we have to win? Nope, we have a message to share.  Like hearing myself, though I say I only need to find the 144,000; part of the message.

Wishing all a renewed sense of direction over the one built by men. Be IN the World, but not OF IT!

Blessings to thee; near and far; believers and non-believers alike; in the name of my Lord, thy God.

A Special Day                                                  August 4, 2012 09:40:51
Posted By Miss Joy
                                
My running mate, Fred Dickson Jr, has recovered nicely from this last cancer surgery.  He is very excited because tomorrow is his birthday; a very special day to still be here to enjoy the day. For the Creator of All things has set him on a path, in conjunction with mine, for the sake of His People. He is blessed each and every day with life, to walk with the Creator through the end of time. Remember, even science has proven that time itself is a "concept" not a "reality".
 
All are welcome to post a birthday greeting under comments for Fred and I will be sure he sees them.  Blessing to all as time plays out, for this time, the Creator wins!!!

As a source of inspiration to many, in defiance of his age and early stage of recovery Dickson rejoined a semi-pro football team at age 53 in 2013.

The Waymire/Dickson ticket did not appear on any ballots plus they apparently were not registered as write-ins in any state. Dickson himself was a registered write-in for US President in Maryland, where he received 8 votes.

Waymire sought the Libertarian nomination in 2016 and was making plans for 2020 before her death in 2018. Dickson went on to run for the US House in 2014 and US Senate in 2016 in the Democratic primaries and became an activist for cancer survivors.

Election history:
2010 - US House of Representatives (Md.) (Unaffiliated) - defeated
2012 - US President (Unaffiliated) - defeated
2014 - US House of Representatives (Md.) (Democratic) - primary - defeated
2016 - US Senate (Md.) (Democratic) - primary - defeated

Other occupations: semi-pro football player, HVAC professional, plumber, electrician, cancer survivor activist

Notes:
Was a write-in candidate in the 2010 election.
Winner of the 2010 and 2014 elections was Elijah E. Cummings.

Kimberly Brighton Barrick

 

Kimberly Brighton Barrick, August 9, 1969? -

VP candidate for Boston Tea Party (2012)
 
Running-mate with nominee: Raymond James Duensing Jr. (b. 1975)
Popular vote: 0 (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538

The campaign:

For their second Presidential outing the Boston Tea Party, which was partly a home for refugees from the Libertarian Party, held an online convention shortly before Christmas, 2011 and nominated Tiffany Briscoe of Maryland for President and Kimberly Barrick (née Johnson) of Arizona for VP.

Briscoe, who operated a retail business merchandising clothes, handbags, and perfume, filed with the Maryland State Board of Elections as a Democrat on Mar. 9, 2011. After her Presidential nomination she filed with the FEC under the Boston Tea Party on Feb. 12, 2012.

In Mar. 2012 it was discovered Briscoe had some serious discrepancies in her resume and the BTP asked that she either step down or explain. She explained her version of events, and in the end the Party still wanted her to step down. On the BTP side, there were differences of opinion on what course to take. On Briscoe's side she appeared to initially want to run under the BTP banner on her own but ultimately took the stance of, "You can't fire me, I quit!"

And so she continued to run as an Independent, although as far as Maryland was concerned she was still registered as a write-in Democrat.

On St. Patrick's Day, 2012, Briscoe's website offered her rendition of the split from the BTP, and the announcement of a new running-mate, James Ogle--

The fight for liberty and peace is far from over. We have a long way to go until we obtain the ultimate goal of a free society, based on free markets and free minds. But all signs point toward an eventual victory of the liberty movement. In many aspects of our lives, we are more free than we were 50 years ago, 100 years ago, or a thousand years ago. This is a relief, but as the greatest minds in history have stated, freedom depends on the willingness of individuals to fight for it.

Our campaign is just one little front in the overall battle. But it is not unimportant whatsoever. In fact, it brings about a great opportunity to either accelerate victory or let the battle drag for longer. But it needs to be managed in a more efficient way to help our cause. This is why the Briscoe for America presidential campaign has decided to make a few, meaningful changes to enhance voters' powers this November.

To begin with, the campaign chose not to run with a party in this election cycle. We went from Democrats to a ticket for the Boston Tea Party. We thank both entities for their well-accepted support, but Tiffany Briscoe is not meant to follow a definite political party. Lately, a controversy arose within the party's internal structures, which led to an referendum on Tiffany's status as presidential nominee. She unfortunately lost, by a couple of votes, even though the referendum was unbinding and meaningless legally-speaking. And while our decision to leave the BTP had nothing to do with this event, as it originated from earlier thoughts and discussions, we still wish a good luck to the Boston Tea Party, which remains one of the last political entities faithful to the Constitution.

Another change made was Tiffany's choice for Vice-President. Kimberly Barrick is a great woman who truly loves liberty in a way that only a few people can understand. However, she chose to stay with the BTP as a formal vice-presidential nominee for a headless ticket. After a long analysis of the different choices available, Tiffany came with the conclusion that the best general choice to second her ticket was James Ogle. James is a great pro-democratic activist who constantly challenges the legislative establishment through his organization, USA Parliament. James respectfully agreed to join the Briscoe for America campaign as Tiffany's vice-presidential pick, even though USA Parliament remained neutral on this particular matter.

The two will run a national campaign, focused on the principles they both share of liberty, peace, and prosperity, as Independents, in order to reflect this largest voting group during this election cycle. In the minor changes, we can count the moving of our campaign headquarters down south to Homestead, Florida, and the hiring of a new Communications Director, Vakhtang Davrichachvili.

For a brief time, Boston Tea Party VP Barrick was without a standard bearer. At the end of March, after four ballots, the BTP nominated Jim Duensing for President. He had been a three time candidate for US Congress in Nevada representing the Libertarian Party. Two issues that were dear to his heart was the protection of gun culture (he was a firearms instructor) and promoting the Truther conspiracy theory that 9/11 was an inside job.

In addition to being known in Nevada as an attorney nearing the status of a perennial Libertarian candidate, Duensing also made the news when he was shot and wounded by a law enforcement officer in Las Vegas, Oct. 2009 during a routine traffic stop where it was discovered he had outstanding warrants. The police contended Duensing, who was armed, "insinuated" he would employ a firearm, an account Duensing disputed.

The Duensing/Barrick campaign apparently came to an abrupt end when the Chair of the BTP, Darryl Perry, resigned his post in July, 2012. His statement, as reported on Independent Political Report, read--

    I first joined the BTP in 2006 and have been on the National Committee since 2008 when I was elected as an At-Large Rep. In 2010 I was elected Chair, and was re-elected this Spring.

    Due to the lack of involvement from party members for most of 2011, a resolution was introduced to disband the party.

    Whereas the membership of the BTP is largely inactive, and
    Whereas the number of State affiliates has decreased since 2008;
    Be it therefore resolved, at the close of this National Convention, that the Boston Tea Party shall cease to exist as a political party.

    This resolution failed, however member activity has remained stagnant.

    I am incredibly disappointed with the party members and in myself for not being able to motivate people to action. While I would love for the BTP to grow and become a viable alternative to the older more established parties, it does not appear the membership is willing to help the party grow.

    I regret to announce that effective immediately, I am resigning as Chair of the Boston Tea Party National Committee. With only two remaining members of the National Committee, my resignation effectively disbands the BTP.

    I will continue to work towards complete freedom and hope you will join me in this peaceful fight.

    In Peace, Freedom, Love & Liberty,
    Darryl W. Perry

Election history: none.

Other occupations: horse trainer, life coach, radio show host, "Creator/Owner at Sedona Sacred Alchemy, Founder at Brightest Future Foundation, and Broadcaster at OverGround RailRoad."

Notes:
PNW trivia!!! Barrick attended Oregon State University 1987-1989.
As a result of his 2009 arrest Duensing was convicted of three felony charges in Nov. 2014. In Jan. 2015 Duensing was sentenced to five years probation on three felony charges, lost his license to practice law and his license to conduct firearms training, was ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation, remain on house arrest, and not to consume drugs or alcohol.

James Orlando Ogle III, an artist based in California, had declared his candidacy for President as a Libertarian in Oct. 2011. He won the Missouri primary by defeating "Uncommitted" in pursuit of the nomination. Also in 2012 he sought the VP nomination for the Boston Tea Party and had expressed a desire to be Roseanne Barr's running-mate in the Peace and Freedom Party.

Ogle said he was descended from two early Maryland governors. He co-founded USA Parliament in 1995, a fantasy-political game that champions the concept of ranked choice voting and proportional representation. Ogle filed with the FEC for President in 1996 in place of Marcus Denoon (1966-2004) of the Pot Party, who decided he did not want to run.
 
On his 2012 campaign website, Ogle described another claim to fame, his alleged influence on the creation of Google, and in turn how that influenced his decision to run for office--

As one of the founders of the USA Parliament, a non profit which received recognition by the Federal Elections Commission on August 1st, 1995, I've been maintaining and promoting its activities as a non-profit and political voter registration drive every year for seventeen consecutive years.

Harry Browne [Libertarian] Elected

In the first election held in Usenet in 1993, Honorable Harry Browne [Libertarian] was elected #1 in the election because many Libertarians across the country voted for him.

Several election cycles and four years later in October of 1997, a student  at Stanford University whose name I believe is Sergie Brin, discovered our activities on Deja News Usenet (now named Google Groups) by searching with his then unnamed search engine program and asked; "What is a joogle?".

Joogle was my email address and personal logo when I was first posting in Usenet about the USA Parliament and ranked choice voting (joogle@netcom.com), starting in 1993.

Someone replied "I don't know what a joogle is, but a google is a number."

About one week later Sergie Brin came back to Usenet and announced that he had named his search engine "google.com".

Because of me, he misspelled the word googol, which is the actual spelling of the number.

That didn't hurt Google's business and may have actually helped to kick-start Google's success because the parliament had been like the "juice" that the no-name program needed.

Many of my friends were Google's first customers. The political free speech and my personal artistic nature may have been applied. I am a painter/artist/sculptor, my shop signs actually used the colored letters in 1995 to 1997 at my Cannery Row, CA. art studio, which was located about in Monterey CA, a short drive to the beach from Stanford University.

The funny sound of my logo "Joogle" was a cool idea to immitate, and at that time in Usenet the parliament represented a cutting edge concept; voting for a virtual parliament through ranked choice voting.

I was in a debate with computer scientists around the world, and we were seeing the attitudes of peoples' writings change from violent revolution to peaceful voting systems revolutions.

Google's "page rank" program, artistic applications to the logo and cost free nature may have also been influenced by the US Parliament project, although in the first ten years Google search could not locate the usparliament.org web site, and traffic towards the words "parliament" and/or "parliamentary" was instead directed to the various Robert's Rules of Order sites which became high profile.

Robert's Rules of Order uses mostly plurality voting and single winner election systems, and so a lot of energy, time and money has been invested in methods which end up dysfunctional and exclusionary while being labeled "parliamentary".

After all these years I am still struggling to get my message out, but meanwhile my name has become a multi-billion dollar gateway. I would like to capitalize on that somehow, so I thought I'd run for president and/or vice president.

His campaign slogan was Go Ogle 2012.

The Briscoe/Ogle ticket received 18 votes in Maryland.

Ogle filed with the FEC in order to run for President in 2014 and the agency politely informed him the next election was not until 2016.

The campaign (2016):

Terry Wayne Wheelock of Fort Worth, Tex. filed with the FEC as an Independent for President on June 18, 2015. It was his second of three consecutive runs for the White House.

Wheelock, a former gymnast, waged part of his campaign on Facebook--

Feb. 13, 2016
HE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE response to the questions asked on the Democrat Debate!

Opening Statement

My name is Terry Wayne Wheelock and I am The INDEPENDENT Candidate for President of the United States in 2016, I am THE BEST CHOICE because as an INDEPENDENT and I am the ONLY candidate who CAN and WILL SERVE, REPRESENT, RESTORE, and PROTECT the FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS of ALL the people, WE the PEOPLE! NO Republican or Democrat can do that because they are BEHOLDEN to their parties and NOT WE the PEOPLE! They can ONLY be a Republican President or Democrat President, BUT I CAN and WILL BE an AMERICAN PRESIDENT! I am also that THIRD CHOICE EVERYONE is looking for due to the incompetents and negligence of the “party” Presidents who have and are tearing AMERICA apart! It is TIME to DUMP the parties and be INDEPENDENT as were the FOUNDERS of this GREATEST NATION! I will be on the ballot in ALL 50 States in November, so I want EVERYONE to VOTE and Vote! WHEELOCK! 2016

How will I control the deficit?

As President I will bring the deficit budget up to a balanced budget in a step-by-step approach that will right the wrongs of the SKIMMING SCHEME that the Republicans and Democrats have and are perpetuating on AMERICANS with their FRAUD, WASTE, and ABUSE! I will create the environment so PEOPLE can start businesses that create JOBS! Putting AMERICA to WORK! I will end the Republican and Democrat era of FISCAL SLAVERY for the people, ALL the PEOPLE! The PEOPLE will have the CHOICE to SUPPORT and FUND the PROGRAMS, PRODUCTS, and SERVICES according to what THEY USE, CHOOSE, and BELIEVE IN!

How much larger should government be?

Government should ONLY be of the size that, WE the PEOPLE CHOOSE it to be, it exists to SERVE US and PROTECT US when necessary, as opposed to what ANY of the other candidates will actually do and that is expand government for THEIR special interest lobby parties by raising TAXES to fund THEIR LIFESTYLES at the expense of EVERYONE else! As President I will give the POWER to THE PEOPLE to SUPPORT and FUND the programs, products, and services THEY USE, THEY CHOOSE, and THEY BELIEVE IN! AMERICANS WILL control the size of government as opposed to the government telling Americans how big government will be! A revolutionary concept but think of what the size of government would be WHEN the PEOPLE have the CHOICE to cut the FRAUD, WASTE, and ABUSE! An AMERICAN GOVERNMENT that IS OF the PEOPLE, BY the PEOPLE, and FOR the PEOPLE!

What will be the cost of your government expansion plans? (How will you fund, tax, or pay for it?)

The question ASSUMES that government will expand, WHY does it have to? Again, simply as President I will give the PURSE STRINGS to the PEOPLE to pay for or fund it, thereby giving THEM the control over how BIG government is. I WILL in a stepped approach ABOLISH TAXATION! TAXATION is the FISCAL SLAVERY holding this NATION and WE the PEOPLE back from OUR LIFE, OUR LIBERTY, and OUR PURSUIT of HAPPINESS! I will ABOLISH the IRS and replace it with THE OFFICE OF OPERATIONAL FUNDING in which WE will NO LONGER be TAXPAYERS but rather CITIZENS who EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT to fund what they USE, CHOOSE, and BELIEVE IN! This is the ONLY way to allow WE the PEOPLE to control OUR DESTINY! I WILL cut the double and triple DUPLICATION, the FRAUD, WASTE, and ABUSE of government programs and consolidate government into a size that the PEOPLE choose and will manage! So that the government is a SERVANT to the PEOPLE!

What do women need to know about you?

As President I will love them, support them, and aid them in achieving ANY of THEIR DREAMS so they TRULY have EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL CHOICE, EQUAL PAY, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, EQUAL ABILITY, and WHATEVER OTHER EQUAL you want to add to the list so that ALL WOMEN at home and AROUND the WORLD are EQUAL in EVERY RESPECT!

Should women voters feel obligated to support women candidates?

NOT ONE BIT! They should support a CANDIDATE because of the CONTENT of THEIR PLATFORM not the SEX of THEIR SKIN! My momma taught me don’t like a woman just because she is a woman, like her because she is and EQUAL! It is a NO BRAINER, ANY candidate who DOESN’T support FULL EQUALITY for WOMEN, or ANY PEOPLE for that matter should be LEFT SWIPED!

How would you address the disproportionately high black male prison population?

As President I would use EVERY power of the President to stop bias sentencing, remove judges who show negligent bias, reform what is at this time a PENAL SYSTEM and reform it into an actual CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM so that the purpose is to rehabilitate NOT incarcerate. So that no matter what the color of your skin is, those who do commit crime serve JUST time and are REHABILITATED to emerge back into society with EVERY RIGHT and RESPONSIBILITY of ANY Citizen! We must also create the environment and OPPORTUNITY for EQUALITY for AMERICANS of AFRICAN descent! Because if a person has a JOB that will allow them to achieve LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS, the hands will not be able to do the crime that will bind them for time!

What would you do to improve race relations? (How has Obama done?)

Relations among the “races” for MOST people isn’t really an issue an issue anymore, WE are ALL EQUAL, there is ONLY one RACE the HUMAN RACE! “BUT” there are those on EVERYSIDE that profit from continuing to divide the races. They are the MINORITY now. I don’t have a RACIST bone in my body or BEING and as President I call on ALL PEOPLE, of ALL the RACES, to unite and put racism to bed. I will use EVERY power of the Presidency to eliminate racism In government, law enforcement, military, and ANY other facet of AMERICAN LIFE! I believe it was Obama’s intention to improve race relations but I believe he has stoked the fears of ALL races! Unknowingly he along with the Republican and Democrats and “journalism” have perpetuated the survival of and inflamed the promoters of racism for political, personal, and monetary gain. We ALL must adopt a policy of ZERO TOLERANCE for racism in AMERICA and AROUND the WORLD!

Do some white Americans have a right to feel resentful? (Is it wrong to be describing it as a racial thing?)

Well, as an AMERICAN, it is wrong to be putting ANYTHING in front of AMERICAN, except YOUR RELIGION, because WE are ONE NATION UNDER GOD! Which that is a whole different issue but suffices to say that I can see that some people are, I don’t know if I would call it resentful, but rather attentive to the descriptive terminology used to try to classify people and seeming raise one race, color, nationality, etc. over the others. There are those again that want to perpetuate the “race wars” for profit and destabilization of this NATION founded on FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS and the WE are ALL CREATED EQUAL! Race, color, nationality, origin, etc. should all be put behind the FACT the WE are ALL AMERICANS FIRST!

Should undocumented families fear deportation?

ANYONE who comes to America “illegally” should “fear” deportation, because they have committed a crime against AMERICA! Now having said that IF they DO NOT come forward, identify themselves, stand before judgment, and make restitution for their crime, and SWEAR and DEMOSTRATE ALLEGIANCE to the United States of America, then they should be and will be deported, no matter WHAT the reason is that they came here for. When a person goes to someone else’s house they should enter the FRONT DOOR and NOT the WINDOW. As President, WE and I will secure the BORDER and create a PATHWAY to the FRONT DOOR! WE will update and reform what needs to be within the IMMIGRATION SYSTEM to allow those who wish to IMMIGRATE to AMERICA and become AMERICAN the ability to LEGALLY do so! We must differentiate between, IMMIGRATION, MIGRATION, REFUGEES, and ILLEGAL ENTRANTS. Those here illegally have a CHOICE to make to PAY the PRICE, to become AMERICAN! The FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS that are INALIENABLE and GOD GIVEN to ALL AMERICANS have been secured by the BLOOD of the FOUNDERS, and if some wants that FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS then they must pay the PRICE!

How will you insure that the basic needs of senior citizens are met?

By creating and addressing the environment, programs, and infrastructure so that seniors can “insure” their own needs. WE ALL will have “needs” when we are “seniors”, so EVERYONE must choose to contribute to what WE as seniors will need when we get OLD! Unless we can find a cure for aging! Citizens will have the CHOICE of PUBLIC, PRIVATE, or INDIVIDUAL “social security” plans for retirement or “senior” years. Elimination of TAXATION will allow people to put funds toward THEIR SENIOR NEEDS! As with anything we will use a MULTIFACETED approach so that today’s youth can plan for THEIR SENIOR YEARS! For those who are seniors now they will receive the benefits they have earned and prepared for, and for those who haven’t prepared they will have to work in their senior years to fund those years. NOTHING is FREE, someone is paying for it somehow, and this FREE to ME SOCIETY that Republicans and Democrats are trying to secure will FAIL, just as with any FLAWED FORMULA, the math will always fail and this is where and what your math teacher was talking about when they told you one day math would SAVE YOUR LIFE!

What influence will your campaign contributors have on your administration?

NONE! People contribute to my campaign for President because if elected I CAN and WILL do EVERYTHING within the PRIVILEGE of the President to bring about the policies I have put forth in my platform. That is MY WORD and that is MY BOND! I will create the environment so WE the PEOPLE set the priority of issues, and as President, policy will not be “INFLUENCED” it will be implemented. They will be contributing because they believe in CHANGE WE CAN ACHIEVE! There will be no place to “influence” a policy, because if a person compromises their policy they are WRONG in the FIRST PLACE! If ANYONE thinks they can pay to influence me as President, then they do NOT understand the meaning of the word NONE! The whole way of electing the President must be RESTORED to it original intent! That the LEADER of the PEOPLE must be OF the PEOPLE, BY the PEOPLE, and FOR the PEOPLE, ALL the PEOPLE EQUALLY!

Are there any areas of government you’d like to reduce?

ALL the double, triple duplication, ALL the FRAUD, WASTE, and ABUSE! ANY area in any program, service, product that the government has the PRIVILEGE to provide the Citizens of this NATION! One of the things I do to earn my keep in this world is WEEDEATIN! As President I will take a WEEDEATER to the “government” at all levels to eliminate the WEEDS so there is nothing left but GREEN GRASS on BOTH sides of the fence! Eliminating TAXATION will give WE the PEOPLE the POWER that is THEIRS to reduce government, balance the budget, and ONLY fund what government THEY USE, CHOOSE, and BELIEVE IN!

Is the US ready for the next attack against the homeland?

We are as ready now as we have ever been and will ever be in a FREE SOCIETY! As a FREE and OPEN SOCIETY we are vulnerable to attack, so we must ALWAYS be looking for and implementing capabilities, technologies, and policies that will allow us to respond to and thwart when possible ANY attack upon this nation. Restoring AMERICA as a SUPER POWER and stop being a SUPER BULLY will go along way to eliminating the “perceived need” to attack America. To those who are bent on bringing down FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS for ALL whether they be FOREIGN or DOMESTIC WE and the REST of the WORLD are rising to eliminate DICTATORIAL, AUTHORITARIAN, or ANY CoK (Convert or Kill) IDEOLOGY around the world, because EVERYONE worldwide wants FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS! As President no OPTION will be off the table to protect AMERICA!

What is your strategy for dealing with Russian president Putin?

As President I will create the environment for him to bring FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS to the PEOPLE of RUSSIA whom he is a SERVANT to. We will do what is RIGHT for ALL the PEOPLE whether they are AMERICAN or ANY OTHER! He has a CHOICE to FREE the PEOPLE or THEY WILL DEAL WITH HIM! He must understand that the age of CONQUERING is over and AMERICA, RUSSIA, and CHINA must work TOGETHER in COOPERATION to build a world based on FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, that is the purpose of government to SERVE, REPRESENT, RESTORE, and PROTECT when necessary the PEOPLE! The FIRST part of the “strategy” I would implement is to say to Putin, Jinping, and ANY OTHER is FREE YOUR PEOPLE, create the environment for THEM to PROSPER!

What more should the US do to lead the effort to help refugees?

We should create the environment for “REFUGEES” to solve the issues within their countries for themselves so they can return and NEVER allow the BAD people to rise up and take control of any country. And, simply if we and the “refugees” don’t have agreement that ALL people will have FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS when they return, then there will NEVER be any effort that can help ANYONE! To those who are destabilizing regions that are causing the refugees to flee, YOUR DAYS are numbered! AMERICA and the rest of the WORLD will NOT allow another Hitler or ISIS to rise and threaten the progress to WORLD PEACE! The final “war” between FREEDOM and OPPRESSION has begun and those who choose block the rise of FREEDOM worldwide will LOSE!

Name two leaders who would influence your decisions on foreign policy? (One American, one foreign)

No one leader would influence my decisions on foreign policy, because no leader in history has faced the issues that we as a nation face today. The only thing that will set the direction of what foreign policy will be is the FACE of a child on FOREIGN SOIL that lives in FEAR of DEATH because the leaders have NOT risen to the challenge of creating a country or nation in which they can LIVE, LIVE FREE, and PURSUE the HAPPINESS of FREEDOM! That goes for the “leaders” of AMERICA too; the children of AMERICA deserve LIFE, LIBERTY, and PURSUIT of HAPPINESS and the FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS that are INALIENABLE and GOD GIVEN!

[Wheelock makes a pitch to The Daily Show]
Hi, I like your show, how about doing an interview with the ONLY candidate who has a VIABLE chance to beat Hillary! Johnson has NO CHANCE to win because he is not a VIABLE candidate and does not have a VIABLE platform that can win a majority vote in the general election, he is too fringe just like Stein! Trump is just NUTS! The ONLY candidate who has a mathematical chance, a VIABLE platform, and can gain enough electoral votes to beat Hillary is TERRY W. WHEELOCK, The INDEPENDENT Party Candidate who is on the ballot in ALL 50 States, DC, and 4 Territories, is polling higher than Trump and Clinton when put head to head with them, is THE INDEPENDENT PARTY candidate who has the independent vote throughout the US, the evangelical vote, the conservative vote, the liberal vote, and the ONLY candidate who can work between the R/Ds to unite America!

Hi, just wanted to let everyone know that a former Sooner gymnast is running for President of the United States! That would be me, Terry W. Wheelock, The Independent Party Candidate, I am on the ballot in ALL 50, DC, and the 4 Territories, but some are challenging our right to be on the ballot, but regardless you can still vote for me. The Independent Party is The Party in the Middle, we can do what Republicans and Democrats can't, we can work between the two sides of the issues, and unite America like they cannot. My Vice Presidential running mate is James O. Ogle. Together we are THE BEST CHOICE for America and the ONLY candidates that can represent ALL the people equally because we are independents and are not bound to the agendas and policies of the failed two party system that is doing nothing more than dividing America. We can serve, restore, unite, and protect the FREEDOM and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS that are OURS, unalienably and or GOD given, as put down in The Declaration of Independence! We can restore the original intent of The Constitution to support and protect those rights contained within The Declaration of Independence. Lastly, I am the ONLY candidate who has done an IRON CROSS, and has the strength and determination it requires to be President, Commander in Chief, and Leader of the Free World! Vote! WHEELOCK/OGLE! 2016

VP nominee Ogle had apparently earlier expressed an interest in entering the primaries desiring the Republican nomination for US President. He called the Wheelock/Ogle ticket an "Independent/Republican" one.

Ogle had filed with the FEC for the 2016 election as a Democrat for President on Nov. 21, 2013. On Jan. 24, 2014, he filed again as a Democrat for the "2014" Presidential election, generating some humorous publicity. So he refiled for 2016, again as a Democrat, on Mar. 23, 2014. On Nov. 12, 2014 he changed his party affiliation to Republican.

Although the campaign website claimed "Presidential Candidate Wheelock is On the BALLOT in ALL 50 States!!!" I can find no evidence the Wheelock/Ogle ticket were on any ballots or even registered as write-ins.

On Apr. 15, 2017 Wheelock filed with the FEC to run for President in 2020 as a member of the Independent Party of the United States of America. Ogle filed to run for President in the 2020 election under the Green Party banner on July 6, 2018, but switched to Libertarian on May 23, 2019. He filed for the 2024 election on Dec. 12, 2020 as a Libertarian.
