[B][SIZE=3]The Painful Truth of Freedomââ¬â¢s Demise[/SIZE][/B] By Nancy Levant Jul 22, 2005, 10:33
[URL=http://www.axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/article_19369.shtml]Link[/URL] Jul 21, 2005
There are a thousand critically important issues to deal with in todayââ¬â¢s world, but American citizens need to be very careful. The creation of social chaos is the fundamental tool used by Constitutional destroyers to divide and conquer the ability to focus on the big prize, which is freedom. Our focus should not be upon partisan details, but upon Constitutional dismantling. Our political opinions and leanings will all be non-issues if there is no Constitutional Republic.
As each day passes, and we continue to see our ââ¬Årepresentativesââ¬Â refusing to represent American freedom, and as we continue to see our voting powers eliminated by the non-elected partnership-stakeholding system of leadership, one wonders if there will ever be another election. Specifically, one wonders if Martial Law will be implemented before another election date rolls around. Due to the fact that our nation has been totally and very skillfully bankrupted by highly educated economic experts, one wonders if we have been set up to purposefully crash, whereby giving Martial Law its jurisdiction.
It should be very clear to every American citizen that 1) something is terribly wrong with our ââ¬Årepresentative government,ââ¬Â and 2) our representatives and their corporate partners are recreating public law. Our rights as American citizen are being systematically, purposefully eliminated. Therefore, our opinions about this social condition and that cultural trend are pointless. In the very near future, changes could occur in America that will make all partisanship null and void. Martial Law knows no partisanship and cares not for opinion. It knows only military-style dictatorship.
At this point in time, I strongly suggest that American people prepare for the worst. All indicators lead to renegade politicians who are overthrowing the American government and its Constitution. No one can deny this fact. Equally, a Martial Law system is totally, completely in place thanks to three or more decades of powers amassed through presidential Executive Orders and many, many Acts.
Consider the following:
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders in to effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen-year period.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money in U.S. financial institutions in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when the President declares a state of emergency, Congress cannot review the action for six months.
Add to these Executive Orders the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, which would give state governors and public health officials the power to: * Force individuals suspected of harboring an "infectious disease" to undergo medical examinations. * Track and share an individual's personal health information, including genetic information. * Force persons to be vaccinated, treated, or quarantined for infectious diseases. * Mandate that all health care providers report all cases of persons who harbor any illness or health condition that may be caused by an epidemic or an infectious agent and might pose a "substantial risk" to a "significant number of people or cause a long-term disability." (Note: Neither "substantial risk" nor "significant number" are defined in the draft.) * Force pharmacists to report any unusual or any increased prescription rates that may be caused by epidemic diseases. * Preempt existing state laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to privacy, medical licensure, and--this is key--property rights. * Control public and private property during a public health emergency, including pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, nursing homes, other health care facilities, and communications devices. * Mobilize all or any part of the "organized militia into service to the state to help enforce the state's orders." * Ration firearms, explosives, food, fuel and alcoholic beverages, among other commodities. * Impose fines and penalties to enforce their orders.
Then, consider the following:
* Super viruses are manufactured.
* Borders are open to illegals of all shapes and kinds.
* NAFTA-CAFTA-FTAA enforces internationalized economics.
* Imported nuclear devices are known to be in the United States.
* Our nation was bureaucratically bankrupted by the Federal Reserve.
* The Partnership-stakeholding bureaucracy eliminates voting.
* The elected representatives of the American people are rapidly eliminating constitutional rights.
* The American military is completely dedicated to foreign theaters, while a secondary military system has been established on the homeland with new and unimaginable powers over the citizenry.
Let us consider the powers of the Patriot Act II:
SECTION 501 (Expatriation of Terrorists) expands the definition of "enemy combatant" to all American citizens who "may" have violated any provision of Section 802 of the first Patriot Act. (Section 802 is the new definition of domestic terrorism, and the definition is "any action that endangers human life that is a violation of any Federal or State law.") Section 501 of the second Patriot Act directly connects to Section 125 of the same act. The Justice Department boldly claims that the incredibly broad Section 802 of the First USA Patriot Act isn't broad enough and that a new, unlimited definition of terrorism is needed.
Under Section 501 a US citizen engaging in lawful activities can be grabbed off the street and thrown into a van never to be seen again. The Justice Department states that they can do this because the person "had inferred from conduct" that they were not US citizens. Remember Section 802 of the First USA Patriot Act states that any violation of Federal or State law can result in the "enemy combatant" terrorist designation.
SECTION 201 of the second Patriot Act makes it a criminal act for any member of the government or any citizen to release any information concerning the incarceration or whereabouts of detainees. It also states that law enforcement does not have to tell the press who they have arrested, and they never have to release the names.
SECTION 301 and 306 (Terrorist Identification Database) set up a national database of "suspected terrorists" and radically expand the database to include anyone associated with suspected terrorist groups and anyone involved in crimes or having supported any group designated as "terrorist." These sections also set up a national DNA database for anyone on probation or who has been on probation for any crime, and orders State governments to collect the DNA for the Federal government.
SECTION 312 gives immunity to law enforcement engaging in spying operations against the American people and would place substantial restrictions on court injunctions against Federal violations of civil rights across the board.
SECTION 101 will designate individual terrorists as foreign powers and again strip them of all rights under the "enemy combatant" designation.
SECTION 102 states clearly that any information gathering, regardless of whether or not those activities are illegal, can be considered to be clandestine intelligence activities for a foreign power. This makes newsgathering illegal.
SECTION 103 allows the Federal government to use wartime martial law powers domestically and internationally without Congress declaring that a state of war exists.
SECTION 106 is bone chilling in its straightforwardness. It states that broad general warrants by the secret FSIA court (a panel of secret judges set up in a star chamber system that convenes in an undisclosed location) granted under the first Patriot Act are not good enough. It states that government agents must be given immunity for carrying out searches with no prior court approval. This section throws out the entire Fourth Amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures.
SECTION 109 allows secret star-chamber courts to issue contempt charges against any individual or corporation who refuses to incriminate themselves or others. This section annihilates the last vestiges of the Fifth Amendment.
SECTION 110 restates that key police state clauses in the first Patriot Act were not sunsetted and removes the five-year sunset clause from other subsections of the first Patriot Act. After all, the media has told us: "This is the New America. Get used to it. This is forever."
SECTION 111 expands the definition of the "enemy combatant" designation.
SECTION 122 restates the government's newly announced power of "surveillance without a court order."
SECTION 123 restates that the government no longer needs warrants and that the investigations can be a giant dragnet-style sweep described in press reports about the Total Information Awareness Network. One passage reads, "thus the focus of domestic surveillance may be less precise than that directed against more conventional types of crime."
*Note: Over and over again, in subsection after subsection, the second Patriot Act states that its new Soviet-type powers will be used to fight international terrorism, domestic terrorism and other types of crimes. Of course the government has already announced in Section 802 of the first USA Patriot act that any crime is considered domestic terrorism.
SECTION 126 grants the government the right to mine the entire spectrum of public and private sector information from bank records to educational and medical records. This is the enacting law to allow ECHELON and the Total Information Awareness Network to break down any and all walls of privacy. The government states that they must look at everything to "determine" if individuals or groups might have a connection to terrorist groups. As you can now see, you are guilty until proven innocent.
SECTION 127 allows the government to takeover coroners' and medical examiners' operations whenever they see fit.
SECTION 128 allows the Federal government to place gag orders on Federal and State Grand Juries and to take over the proceedings. It also disallows individuals or organizations to even try to quash a Federal subpoena. So now defending yourself will be a terrorist action.
SECTION 129 destroys any remaining whistle blower protection for Federal agents.
SECTION 202 allows corporations to keep secret their activities with toxic biological, chemical or radiological materials.
SECTION 205 allows top Federal officials to keep all financial dealings secret, and anyone investigating them can be considered a terrorist.
SECTION 303 sets up national DNA database of suspected terrorists. The database will also be used to "stop other unlawful activities." It will share the information with state, local and foreign agencies for the same purposes.
SECTION 311 federalizes your local police department in the area of information sharing.
SECTION 313 provides liability protection for businesses, especially big businesses, that spy on their customers for Homeland Security, violating their privacy agreements. It goes on to say that these are all preventative measures - has anyone seen Minority Report? This is the access hub for the Total Information Awareness Network.
SECTION 321 authorizes foreign governments to spy on the American people and to share information with foreign governments.
SECTION 322 removes Congress from the extradition process and allows officers of the Homeland Security complex to extradite American citizens anywhere they wish. It also allows Homeland Security to secretly take individuals out of foreign countries.
SECTION 402 is titled "Providing Material Support to Terrorism." The section reads that there is no requirement to show that the individual even had the intent to aid terrorists.
SECTION 403 expands the definition of weapons of mass destruction to include any activity that affects interstate or foreign commerce.
SECTION 404 makes it a crime for a terrorist or "other criminals" to use encryption in the commission of a crime.
SECTION 408 creates "lifetime parole" (basically, slavery) for a whole host of crimes.
SECTION 410 creates no statute of limitations for anyone that engages in terrorist actions or supports terrorists. Remember: any crime is now considered terrorism under the first Patriot Act.
SECTION 411 expands crimes that are punishable by death. Again, they point to Section 802 of the first Patriot Act and state that any terrorist act or support of terrorist act can result in the death penalty.
SECTION 421 increases penalties for terrorist financing. This section states that any type of financial activity connected to terrorism will result to time in prison and $10-50,000 fines per violation.
SECTIONS 427 sets up asset forfeiture provisions for anyone engaging in terrorist activities. There are many other sections that I did not cover in the interest of time. The American people were shocked by the despotic nature of the first Patriot Act. The second Patriot Act dwarfs all police state legislation in modern world history. (Many thanks to Alex Jones for this important list and research).
The only remaining question for American people is whether Executive Orders, and acts such as the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act and the Patriot Act II are imposed ââ¬Åin case of crisis,ââ¬Â or whether they are created as part of a pre-determined decision to dismantle Constitutional America. And either way, is this how we want to live?
Carefully consider all the above. Carefully consider the fact that the American military has been out of the country for 50+ years, fighting U.N. battles. And carefully consider that most of the Executive Orders were written prior to 9-11, and that the first Patriot Act was immediately passed following 9-11 without Congress having access to the contents of the Act. Something is terribly wrong, and my greatest fear is that American people will never have another opportunity for a national vote. It would appear that other plans are in the making.

As another example of how a police state is just around the corner for the United States, consider the recent move to randomly search bags on subway systems in NYC and DC in the name of "safety." (As if this would stop a suicide bomber, anyway! All it would do is cause him to detonate the bag as soon as he was selected for a search, killing everyone in the vicinity.)
That's how it starts -- by having to consent to privacy violations in order to keep the privilege of using the subways. Next, we'll have to consent to random searches of our cars and our persons if we want the privilege of using government roads. Finally, we'll have to consent to searches if we wish to breath government air. And dumbass Americans will be only too happy to give up all their freedoms in the name of "security." :furious:

But it ddoes certainly show us how little of our cherised unique civil libertaries, are not all that sacrosanct, and realy not all that cherished to a whole lot of people.
And this is really just an inevitable reaction I think to the doctrainaire civil libertarianism that helped create the terrorist acts in the first place, by making it impossible to act against alien forces targeting the U.S. It represents a transition away from the unfettered individualism that made ussuch an easy target for alien groups toward a more closed society, I think as MacDonald predicted.
The key thing is not just to whine about it like the losertarians, which most WN's seem ironically to emulate, but rather to recognize its significance and comeup with a coherent strategy in opposition.

Angler, it's my impression that you're pretty close to the truth there.
Think about how government decrees start out-as some pious piece of legislation do-gooderism which is typically pushed against the will and consent of the people, and then finally become completely destructive towards the health of the country.
The Civil Rights Act and the Immigration Act, for instance, were both sold to the White American as benign pieces of law to only morph into something along the lines of a Frankenstein monster that cannot be changed, reformed, nor killed. All Americans suffer. There's plenty of other laws that are hoisted upon the American people that were sold to us in similiar fashion. More recently, seat-belt laws, no-smoking laws (to test less controversial forms of tyranny on the people and checking their responses) and of course the Patriot Act which is sold to us as necessary to fight terrorists (which the gov. created in the first place). The government pushes it all on the people telling them, like the dentist with the big needle, "this won't hurt you at all and it's for your own good".
The American people are being slowly normalized and conditioned to accept tyranny. Even the few dissenters out there won't be able to turn the tide and wake up the masses.

I have no problem with random searches of bags. If this policy can prevent even one act of terrorism, it will have served it's purpose.

Urge Your Members of Congress to Co-Sponsor the Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act
[font=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=2]Background [/size][/font] [font=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=2]All violent crimes are reprehensible, but the damage done by hate crimes cannot be measured solely in terms of physical injury or dollars and cents. Hate crimes rend the fabric of our society and fragment communities because they target a whole group and not just the individual victim. Hate crimes are committed to cause fear in a whole community. A violent hate crime is intended to send a message that an individual and ââ¬Åtheir kindââ¬Â will not be tolerated, many times leaving the victim and others in their group feeling isolated, vulnerable and unprotected.[/size][/font] [font=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=2]According to recent FBI statistics, hate crimes based on a victimââ¬â¢s sexual orientation accounted for the third most prevalent basis for a hate crime, behind race and religion. However, current federal hate crimes statues do not include sexual orientation, gender identity, gender, or disability as protected classes.[/size][/font]
[font=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=2]The Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act (LLEEA) (S. 1145/H. R. 2662) would strengthen existing hate crimes laws. It would provide new authority for federal officials to investigate and prosecute cases in which the bias violence occurs because of the victimââ¬â¢s real or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, gender, or disability. While states would continue to play the primary role in prosecuting bias-motivated violence, LLEEA would allow the federal government to address those cases in which local authorities are either unable or unwilling to investigate and prosecute.[/size][/font]
[font=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=2]Jewish Values and the Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act [/size][/font][font=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=2][font=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=2] As Jews, we cherish the biblical commandment found in Leviticus 19:17: "You shall not hate another in your heart." We know all too well the dangers of unchecked persecution and of failing to recognize hate crimes for what they are: acts designed to victimize an entire community. We also take to heart the commandment ââ¬ÅYou may not stand idly by when your neighborââ¬â¢s blood is being shedââ¬Â (Leviticus 19:16). Jewish tradition consistently teaches the importance of tolerance and the acceptance of others. Inasmuch as we value the pursuit of justice, we must actively work to improve, open, and make safer our communities.
[/size][/font][/size][/font][font=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=2][font=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=2]Take Action [/size][/font][font=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif][font=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=2] The Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act (LLEEA) (S. 1145/H. R. 2662) would enhance the federal governmentââ¬â¢s ability to prosecute criminals who commit acts of violence or intimidation against individuals because of the victimââ¬â¢s gender, gender identity, disability, or sexual orientation.

No they wouldn't have known it.
Here's what you said in your post: "I have no problem with random searches of bags."
You didn't say where these searches should take place. And with the new policy in NYC of searching subway and bus riders, Angler and Ponce were right on to question what kind of searches you'd support. You made the broad sweeping absurd statement that you 'have no problem with random searches.'
So I'd say that you were being absolutely ridiculous and it's you who live in the realm of the absurd, not them.

Sorry got to agree with Ponce and Angler here. The question isn't how the law is applied, its how can it be applied. If under these draconian new laws the State has the authority to abridge every consitutional freedom in the name of the public good at some point they will.
Look at the immigration issue many doctors including some at the CDC have warned of epidemics. Plague, Hepititias, Leprosy, Whooping Cough all resurgent now due to uncontrolled immigration by illegals, and yet the state refuses to do anything about it. But if it suited their purpose they wouldn't hesitate to use those provisions of the patriot act against US Citizens with whose agenda the state didn't agree. Count on it.
