Secret DOJ Memo Says Fourth Amendment Has "No Application" After 9/11 PDF
Steve Watson Infowars.net April 3, 2008Memo Linked to Warrantless Surveillance PDF ASSOCIATED PRESS April 3, 2008
"No free man shall ever be de-barred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
- Thomas JeffersonThe 1st Amendment is under heavy attack this year. We have seen many web sites that were beacons of light shut down, we have seen corrupt judges deny the people their right of peaceful assembled in major cities. As usual we have the corporate controlled media blackout news stories the Bush regime would rather the people not hear. And we have a media that expounds the corporate lies on the people that they want them to believe. Make no mistake about it, their propaganda systems are very powerful. They have the ability to rewrite history. They can cover up costly mistakes like the plagiarized British documents, and Powell delivering the transcripts of the bin Laden tape before the television station had received it. Lets take back the press! Boycott major news channels, cancel your subscription to Time and Newsweek (illuminati news rags), don't buy the New York Times and the WSJ. Fight back! Don't let our rights be taken without a fight!
The new Patriotic Act which closely resembles the communist manifesto, has done away with our Bill of Rights and the Constitution is NO LONGER enforceable in a court of law.

ARTICLES
"The constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and peace, and covers with its shield of protection all classes of men, at all times and under all circumstances. No doctrine involving more pernicious consequences was ever invented by the wit of men that any of its great provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of Government."
--Supreme Court Ruling in Ex Parte Milligan (1866)
"Beware the leader who bangs the drum of war,
In order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor,
for patriotism is indeed a double edged sword.
It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.
And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch
And the blood boils with hate
And the mind has closed, the leader will have no need of seizing
the rights of the citizenry.
Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism,
will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so.
How do I know?
For this is what I have done.
And I am Caesar."Julius Caesar
"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier - just so long I'm the dictator."
George W. Bush December 18, 2000
"The first stage of fascism should more appropriately be called
Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power."
-- Mussolini

Patriot II's Deadly New Definition Of 'Terrorists' Only In America? By Barbara Sumner Burstyn 12-24-03 - But there's a catch. They've changed the definition of terrorist.

Greenpeace for example.

EXECUTIVE TYRANNY by Jonathan Metcalfen - These are dangerous psychopaths at the helm of a country that has reduced it’s populace to some of the most mind controlled people on this earth, where successive executive orders most particularly during the Nixon, Carter, Reagan and Clinton administrations have brought us to a very dangerous stage indeed. And following the crimes of the PATRIOT Act, the recently passed obscenity that is PATRIOT Act II, and the Home Security Act, we find the following executive orders in the Federal Register which are passed without a whiff of red tape. And should a National emergency suddenly materialize then an executive tyranny will replace all notions of just governing. Most importantly, prior congressional approval is not needed for such directives - they are instantly effective once the National Emergency is declared:

Secret 9/11 case before high court The justices consider a petition for a case with no public record. By Warren Richey - It's the case that doesn't exist. Even though two different federal courts have conducted hearings and issued rulings, there has been no public record of any action. No documents are available. No files. No lawyer is allowed to speak about it. Period.
Yet this seemingly phantom case does exist - and is now headed to the US Supreme Court in what could produce a significant test of a question as old as the Star Chamber, abolished in 17th-century England: How far should a policy of total secrecy extend into a system of justice?Corruption in US legal system 10/30/2003 - In fact, the American legal system is so corrupt that extortion, surreptitiously known as the "innocence penalty," is considered more important than truth.

Bush, acting under the Authorization for Use of Military Force Joint Resolution, sent an order to the Defense Department designating Jose Padilla, an American citizen, an "enemy combatant."

Hammond September 30, 2003 - Not until the blood money ceases to flow to Israel and other nations which regularly commit violations of basic and essential human rights, until the current rogue regime is removed from power, and until the Republic established by the Constitution of the United States of America is rightfully restored, will I contribute a single penny to the government that has come under the control of treasonous deceivers, who have wrongfully occupied the highest offices of our nation, who purport to represent We the People, who have knowingly allowed the wealth of Americans to be plundered by the international banks, who have sold the people of America, and our children, into slavery, who continue to willfully act against the interests of the American people in order to do the bidding of their corporate masters, who have conspired to act in the interests of the enemies of America, who have desecrated our Constitution, who have rejected the most basic principles of humanity, who have rebelled against the most fundamental Laws of God, who have profaned the very meanings of the words "truth", "justice", and "liberty", who have defiled what it means to be an "American", and who have blasphemed the God they have falsely claimed has sanctioned their lawlessness. I will no longer knowingly and willfully aid, abet, or otherwise assist such criminal, treasonous, and immoral actions committed by the government purporting to act in the name of We the People.

What Patriot Act II Proposes to Do Washington Post Article on Feb 7th - The Bush Administration's draft Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 would radically expand law enforcement and intelligence gathering authorities, reduce or eliminate judicial oversight over surveillance, authorize secret arrests, create a DNA database based on unchecked executive "suspicion," create new death penalties, and even seek to take American citizenship away from persons who belong to or support disfavored political groups.

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners: men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr. noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall and straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support of the declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor."
They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history books told you a lot of what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't fight just the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fought our own government!
Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't. So take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.
Remember: Freedom is never free! I hope you show your support by sharing this with as many people as you can. It's time we get the word out that Patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games.
