Our Govt Won't Protect Our Rights

Shahid Buttar, Truthout: "The PATRIOT Act has inspired widespread resentment across the political spectrum. It passed with a single dissenting vote even though most members of Congress have never actually read it. Provisions previously set to expire have been reauthorized three separate times, despite an equal number of Justice Department reports revealing massive and ongoing systemic abuses, including new ones invented during the Obama administration. And over 400 cities, plus eight states, have passed resolutions opposing the federal policy. Yet, it remains in place."

Patriot Act Allows Obama to Arrest 14 Governors for Treason

A chilling report from the Foreign Military Intelligence Directorate (GRU) prepared for Prime Minister Putin warns today that United States President Barack Obama has had served on 14 US Governors National Security Letters (NSLs) warning that if their actions in attempting to form what are called State Defense Forces are not halted they will face "immediate" arrest for the crime of treason.


The use of NSLs in the United States was authorized by the Patriot Act law enacted after the September 11, 2001 attacks and forbids anyone receiving them from even acknowledging their existence, and was reauthorized by Obama's "rubberstamp" Congress this past February over the objections of both civil and human rights groups who warned they mimic similar type "government security notices" enacted under both the former German Nazi and Soviet Communist regimes.

Fear Right and Left

Fear Right and Left

The Republicans fear massive arrests and executions for crimes against humanity and murder. Three preemptive wars have killed over six millions Asians and tens of thousands of Americans. Ironically, the Republicans have constructed an 'injustice' system geared to put them to death without trial.

Democratic officials are largely aboard this sinking Ship of Fools. They accepted bribes at similar watering holes. They stood by while the FBI sold our nuclear secrets to Muslim powers. They joined the bankers in the looting of America. They voted to fund the three wars and supported the perpetrators when they were discovered.

The Patriot and Military Commisions Acts can define the majority of Democrats as enemy combatants. As such, they can rot in prison without trial with the Republicans totally f**ked.

Unfortunately, this concept is beyond the Pale for most brain washed Americans. They will muddle through until the backlash from one of their preemptive wars puts them out of their misery.

After Vietnam We Never Thought to Repeat

After Vietnam We Never Thought

In the Vietnam Era my Army Reserve Battalion Commander railed at me. “You have to be here once a week anyway. Why don’t you try to make a go of it?”

My unit had been trained to control angry [American] mobs. On the day they ordered us to quell the mob, I had been in it demonstrating with my fellow leftists.

The penalty for this was 333 days in Vietnam. I thought this punishment was counter-productive to the war effort. Who would want me in the same foxhole?

Well, they couldn’t find a slot for me. They transferred me to a unit already listed to go overseas. Fate intervened. My new battalion was not combat ready and stayed at home. To my utter delight, my old unit shipped out for a year’s tour. Waving a small flag, I saw them off.

Always reluctant to pistol-whip a demonstrator, on that day I became a non-interventionist.

Lacking my experience, most Americans remained as dead leaves blown from gutter to gutter. They rode with the wind from war to war.

They learned nothing.

The three branches of government were so corrupt they didn’t notice the Constitution fluttering to the ground for the mulching machine. The Sons of Liberty became orphans. The Patriot and Military Commissions Acts were obscene obituaries for the fallen founding fathers.
