The Official Flag Of The VN Is;

Greetings In Blood,

The Vampyre Nation has it's flag. See attached or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/The_Vampyre_Nation/?v=1&t=search&ch=web&pub=groups&sec=group&slk=1

Betsy Ross may have made a great flag for the US, but she can't hold a candle to our Shamane. Next week, I will send the design of our flag to a flag maker. Once the flags are ready, I pray everyone who is part of the VN will purchase one or two.

Everyone needs to thank Shamane for her great work.

Do Svidaniya!
Nel Sangue,

RE: Declaration of Independence

Greetings President Bush,

Back on 10 Mar 08 I faxed you the attached letter (attachment #1) to the same fax number I use to fax letters to Blake Gottesman in 2003. In the letter I did thank you for your help in 2003 regarding my former fiancée. I also asked that you would allow me to form the sovereign nation known as; the Vampyre Nation.

Though I addressed you professionally, you and/or your staff decided not to treat me with the same respect. This is appalling to say the least.

Since the letter of 10 Mar 08 I have acquired several acres of land in the Tennessee Mountains for the VN. Presently, we are in the process of acquiring over 8,000+ more acres in the mountains. As well as acreage in CA.

Attached please find the Vampyre Nation’s Official Declaration of Independence to you.

Also, you will find a Warrant demanding that the US Government turn over people who have either; violated our Constitution (see: http://thevampyrenationsofficialgazette.blogspot.com/), violated the rights of our Kindred, Vampyre and Witch hunters, and judges who have violated the rights of our Kindred. You have 45-days from today to turn over these criminals/terrorists to the VN’s Death Dealers, or I will go to the United Nations, and plead the VN’s case to have you turn over these people to face our court system.

Back a few years back, Marion County (IN) Superior Court Judge Cale Bradford while divorcing a Wiccan couple ordered that the couple NOT teach their children the ways of Wicca. This was a clear violation of the US Constitution. Fortunately the ICLU came to the aid of the parents, and the Court of Appeals overturned Bradford illegal and unconstitutional order. Needless to say, Bradford ’s name appears on the Warrant.

Under your administration, my Kindred have suffered numerous civil rights violations. This is the main reason why I formed the VN, to protect them from terrorists like you, and those who work for you! You have 100,000’s of US soldiers in the Middle East looking for Usama bin Laden and his followers, when you are no better than bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. And many elected officials, judges, prosecutors, law enforcement in the US are just as bad, if not worse than bin Laden’s followers!

I strongly feel that with the exception of three judges/commissioners in Marion County (IN), they should all be put to death. And if I had succeeded in my campaign for President this year, on the 3rd day of my presidency, my Death Dealers and I would have marched into the Marion County Court House and executed the judges/commissioners, to make an example that I will not tolerate any judicial agency that violates people’s rights.

Unlike you and your Administration, I will protect the rights of my people. In Vicepresidents.com story about me, they state that; “At times, Sharkey seems to have militaristic ambitions rivaling Adolf Hitler or Vlad The Impaler on the terror scale.” In some ways they are right. However, it is criminals and terrorists who will fear me, not innocent people.

On 11 Sept 01, if I was President of the US , there would have never been a terrorist attack. Mainly due to the fact, enemies of the US fear me. Why? Criminals and terrorists of this world prey upon the civility and compassion of society. No one in this world fears you, because you’re the world’s clown. Unlike you, I have absolutely no compassion, nor mercy for criminals and terrorists. I will have no problem finding them guilty of their crimes, then beating them, torturing them, IMPALING them, dismembering them and finally decapitating them. Their heads will be displaced at the VN as a symbol, to show anyone who considering violating our laws, what awaits them. If one of my children commit an offense punished by IMPALEMENT, I’d IMPALE them!

You have the nerve to condemn Russia for what they did to Georgia , after Georgia attacked a protected state of Russia . Look at what you and your Administration have done to America in the last 8 years. You have destroyed America . What did Vladimir Putin done while he was President of Russia for 8 years? He once again made Russia a SUPERPOWER! As one veteran told me the other day at the VA Hospital, if we go to war with Russia , they’d kick America ’s a$$. He’s right. You made America weak.

Since the US has no intentions in sponsoring the VN in our quest to become a sovereign nation, I am giving you notice, the country that sponsors the VN, shall have the right to equip the VN with their military equipment. I have approached 3 countries asking them to sponsor the VN in gaining sovereignty and acceptance by the UN as a free and sovereign nation. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has a copy of the VN’s Constitution.

Knowing what a true terrorist and unprofessional person you are, this letter is being forwarded to the media, UN Secretary General Ki-moon, and to the 3 countries ambassadors I am seeking assistance from, to help the VN become a great and free nation. I hope if you order an attack on the VN, that one, if not all three countries I have approached comes to our aid, and sends your terrorists cells back to you in body bags (of course without their heads)!

Do Svidaniya

The VN's Declaration

This is the Declaration that was sent to President Bush;

THE VAMPYRE NATION, on this the 18th day of August, 2008 now declares to the President of the United States, our official Declaration Of Independence.

Just as on 4 Jul 1776 when the Founding Fathers of America unanimously declared their independence from King George, the Vampyre Nation now does to the same.

And using some of the same wordage they used, the Vampyre Nation now states;

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal, that they are endowed by their Goddess or God with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted among women and men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of the Vampyre Nation and it’s Terroritories; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present President of the United States is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over the people he has sworn to protect. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

1) He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has enacted “The Patriot Act” that has taken away the rights of the average citizen.

2) He has refused to repeal said Act, which is a true violation of the US Constitution.

3) He has defied the elected Congress and Senate on numerous occasions.

4) He has involved America in a War by lying and deceiving the American people.
Americans are now strongly united against this war. Yet, American troops are dying in the sands, of a foreign land.

5) He has refused to listen to the voice of the American people. Especially regarding said war and his performance as President.

6) He has endeavored to prevent the population of America to have their voices and concerns truly heard.

7) He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing to allow Congress to properly question those under his Administration, in regards to matters of National Security and Constitutional violations.

8) He has made judges dependent on his will alone, and show disregard for the Constitution.

9) He has erected a multitude of new offices to support and protect his unconstitutional violation of the laws of this land.

10) He has kept among Americans in the dark, regarding matters that affect their safety and well-being.

11) He has affected to render the US almost defenseless from a natural disaster and any force that wishes to invade America . Mainly due to the fact, he has deployed the states National Guard into service, to fight in foreign land.

12) He has repeatedly allowed constitutional rights violations to occur to people of non-Christian based faith, such as; Wiccans, Pagans, Vampyres, Satanists, Luciferians, Witches, Lycans and others not named.

13) He has allowed over taxation to occur, without proper representation.

14) He has allowed alleged criminals to be incarcerated, and not allowed them to have a timely and just trial.

In every stage of these oppressions the American people have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: their repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A president, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

The citizens of the Vampyre Nation have not been wanting the attention of the American Government, which has repeated violated our rights. We have warned the government from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. Especially regarding our religious beliefs and practices. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have repeatedly appealed to him (President Bush) for justice and sovereignty. This administration has refused allow us to form our own nation.

Our requests have fallen on deaf ears, with no response. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

We, therefore, the representatives of the Vampyre Nation, state to the President of the United States and appealing to the United Nations General Secretary – Ban Ki-moon our intentions, to, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of the Vampyre Nation terroritories, solemnly publish and declare, that the Vampyre Nation hereby seeks and demands the right of freedom and to be an independent nation; that we are absolved from all allegiance to the United States, and that all political connection between the Vampyre Nation and the United States, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent nation, we have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent nations have the right to do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

We also demand that the United States still remain obligated to pay the entitled compensation and benefits to those who are entitled to, who serve the United States in the armed forces, government (city, county, state and/or federal). As well as those injured by the negligence of the United States .

That the Vampyre Nation has the right to be armed by its sponsoring country, and that said country may assist in the defense of the Vampyre Nation and its sovereignty.

That the United States immediately releases from their military contractual agreement those of the Vampyre Nation’s community who no longer wishes to serve the United States , and want to relocate to the Vampyre Nation.

That the United States respects and honors any and all Warrants issued against its citizens, who have violated the Vampyre Nation’s Constitution and laws. That said citizens be turned over to the VN to stand trial for their crimes against the Vampyre Nation and/or citizens of the VN.

This Declaration is effective on this the 18th day of August, 2008.
