Casey’s Pontiac Sunfire up for auction?

Casey’s Car: Scrap Or Collector’s Item?
Attorney: Offers Coming In To Buy Pontiac Sunfire

UPDATED: 5:54 pm EDT July 26, 2011

ORLANDO, Fla. — Offers are rolling in for one of the most iconic pieces of evidence in Casey Anthony’s murder trial — her white Pontiac Sunfire.

The car is still in the possession of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, which says the car can be picked up anytime by George and Cindy Anthony, who own the car.

Their attorney, Mark Lippman, told WESH 2 News he’s been getting calls from people interested in buying the car.

The car was thought to be key to proving the state’s murder case against Anthony. Numerous witnesses took the stand to say how the car smelled like it had at one point carried around a body.

“There are collectors of macabre things. Apparently this falls into that category now,” Lippman said.

The Kelley Blue Book lists the normal value on a used Sunfire at about $3,000, but Lipman said it could go to a collector for more than that. The money would be donated to the new foundation the Anthonys are establishing in memory of Caylee Anthony.

“I’ve had multiple offers to purchase it, but George and Cindy do not want to profit off it by any means,” Lippman told WESH.

Where would the car go? Not to the National Museum of Crime and Punishment in Washington, D.C., the museum’s CEO told WESH. The museum has items like the so-called Bonnie and Clyde car riddled with bullet holes and vehicles belonging to Ted Bundy and John Dillingers.

“There wasn’t any proof it was part of a crime. It’s not a true historic artifact, so its value should diminish in the wake of that,” said museum CEO Janine Vaccarello.

She said she can understand why plenty of private collectors want to call the car their own.

Lippman said Tuesday the Anthonys have not yet made a decision on what to do with the car. He said he isn’t ruling out sending the car to scrap if that’s what his clients want.

Protestor Jailed For Handing Out Pamphlets During Casey Trial

This is disturbing on so many levels, the most important being “free speech zones”, the 1st amendment does not say we have free speech only where the government tells us we can have it.   It’s disturbing that Judge Perry constantly touts the constitution but fails to abide by it when it suits him not to.  What else is disturbing is that Judge Perry feels it’s appropriate to jail a “free speech” protester but doesn’t feel compelled to follow thru with sanctions and contempt of court charges against Jose Baez.  What a freakin’ hypocrite.  Wonder how many years Judge Perry would have given Thomas Paine.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A judge found a man who was held in criminal contempt during Casey Anthony’s trial guilty of indirect criminal contempt on Tuesday.

Chief Judge Belvin Perry found Mark Schmidter guilty of in-direct criminal contempt and sentenced him to almost 300 days in jail.

“In my brain, I was just fighting for my country,” said Schmidter.

Schmidter was charged with criminal contempt because he violated a court order by passing out pamphlets outside designated free-speech zones at the Orange County courthouse during Casey Anthony’s trial.

He’d been passing out the fliers for about a year at the courthouse.

“I think it’s absurd to put someone in jail for passing out a leaflet,” said defense attorney Adam Sudbury.

Schmidter was convicted of passing out pamphlets that said jury members have the right to find people “not guilty” if they disagree with a law in question.

(This is true!  But TPTB don’t want jurors to know that.)

Schmidter had argued the order took away First Amendment rights.

“I didn’t think it applied to what I was doing at all,” he said in court.

But Judge Perry disagreed and believed his orders were clear. He can’t stand outside the box and the ruling does not violate his First Amendment rights.

Schmidter will serve 5 months in jail.

His attorney says he plans to appeal the case.

Judge delays release of Casey Anthony juror names

Juror identities will remain private until Oct. 25 or after.

By Amy Pavuk and Anthony Colarossi, Orlando Sentinel9:34 p.m. EDT, July 26, 2011

The names of jurors who served on Casey Anthony’s first-degree murder trial will remain secret until October, according to a ruling Tuesday by Chief Judge Belvin Perry.

Ordinarily, juror names become public in Florida once a verdict is rendered.

Perry’s 12-page ruling said the names of 14 of the 17 jurors will remain private until Oct. 25. Several jurors already stepped forward and spoke to the media, at least one under condition of anonymity.

In June, Perry entered an order barring the release of the jurors’ names “until further order of this court.”

On July 7 — just days after the jury found Anthony not guilty of murder and other felonies — Perry heard from media lawyers, including one representing the Orlando Sentinel, who argued the juror identities should be released. But Perry didn’t agree to immediately do so.

---

In his order Tuesday, Perry noted “the jurors themselves were essentially voiceless” regarding the release of their names.

“No one spoke for the jurors and no one provided evidence concerning the jurors’ safety or privacy concerns,” Perry wrote. “No one argued the public policy consequences of releasing juror information.”

Although he found no legal foundation to prevent the juror names from being released, Perry said the court has “the inherent authority, based upon the unique and alarming circumstances surrounding this case, to protect the safety and well-being of jurors by imposing a ‘cooling off’ period before the names are released.”

Perry also recalled how a large crowd gathered outside the Orange County Courthouse immediately after the verdict was read. “Many, if not all, were outraged and distressed by the verdict, and were not hesitant to show their contempt for the jurors,” Perry wrote.

He noted how one juror “had left the state and has remained out of state since the verdict was rendered.”

The same juror, he said, retired from her job early and left Florida “to avoid the animosity shown to her and the other jurors.”

David Bralow, assistant general counsel for Tribune Company, which owns the Sentinel, said that while he is gratified the court will release the jurors’ names, he is disappointed by the length of time the court imposed as a cooling off period.

“For the community to understand and accept this verdict, the entire process needs to be transparent and the court realizes that that includes the jurors’ names,” he said.

“There’s an old expression that’s apropos here: News delayed is news denied.”

Some jurors have spoken publicly in varying degrees since the verdict.

Reached by telephone Tuesday evening, alternate juror Dean Edward Eckstadt wouldn’t comment.

“I’d really rather not say anything on the phone,” he said. “There’s a lot of headaches when we all talk to you guys.”

Eckstadt said fellow jurors have said they don’t want each other talking to the media.

In his order, Perry said some jurors have reported threats to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office and expressed to court staff “that they feel like prisoners in their own homes.”

Perry wrote that the Florida Supreme Court has recognized that certain information can be kept confidential for a period “to avoid substantial injury to innocent third parties.”

“Here,” Perry wrote, “it is clear, the jurors in this case face the possibility of substantial injury if their names are immediately made public.”

Based on the public outrage with the verdict, Perry said the names will not be released “until sufficient time has passed to allow those enraged by the verdict and who might instinctively react with violence to compose and restrain themselves.”

Perry also listed other considerations, including the potential chilling effect on people willing to serve as jurors and news coverage becoming a form of “entertainment.”

He suggested that Florida’s public record laws should be evaluated to see if “the release of certain information is causing more harm or whether the public’s and media’s right to know outweighs that harm.”

Perry also cited the constitutional right to privacy, saying the release of juror names “makes a mockery of the constitutional provision on the right to privacy and provides the provision with no weight or substance.”

He specifically called for the state Legislature to consider whether an exemption “barring release of jurors’ names, albeit limited to specific, rare cases, is needed in order to protect the safety and well-being of those citizens willing to serve.”

Court administration for the Ninth Circuit or the Pinellas County Clerk of Court may upon request release the names of the 14 seated jurors who have not already voluntarily released their names on or after Oct. 25, the order states. No other information about the jurors will be released, according to the order.

Top 40 Reasons to Support Gun Control

1. Banning guns works, which is why New York, DC, and Chicago cops need guns.

2. Washington DC’s low murder rate of 80.6 per 100,000 is due to strict gun control, and Arlington, VA’s high murder rate of 1.6 per 100,000 is due to the lack of gun control.

3. Statistics showing high murder rates justify gun control but statistics showing increasing murder rates after gun control are “just statistics.”

4. The Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Ban, both of which went into effect in 1994, are responsible for the decrease in violent crime rates, which have been declining since 1991.

5. We must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time and anyone who would own a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid.

6. The more helpless you are the safer you are from criminals.

7. An intruder will be incapacitated by tear gas or oven spray, but if shot with a .357 Magnum will get angry and kill you.

8. A woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet.

9. When confronted by violent criminals, you should “put up no defense — give them what they want, or run” (Handgun Control Inc. Chairman Pete Shields, Guns Don’t Die – People Do, 1981, p. 125).

10. The New England Journal of Medicine is filled with expert advice about guns; just like Guns and Ammo has some excellent treatises on heart surgery.

11. One should consult an automotive engineer for safer seatbelts, a civil engineer for a better bridge, a surgeon for spinal paralysis, a computer programmer for Y2K problems, and Sarah Brady [or Sheena Duncan, Adele Kirsten, Peter Storey, etc.] for firearms expertise.

12. The 2nd Amendment, ratified in 1791, refers to the National Guard, which was created by an act of Congress in 1903.

13. The National Guard, funded by the federal government, occupying property leased to the federal government, using weapons owned by the federal government, punishing trespassers under federal law, is a state militia.

14. These phrases,” right of the people peaceably to assemble,” “right of the people to be secure in their homes,” “enumeration’s herein of certain rights shall not be construed to disparage others retained by the people,” and “The powers not delegated herein are reserved to the states respectively, and to the people,” all refer to individuals, but “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” refers to the state.

15. We don’t need guns against an oppressive government, because the Constitution has internal safeguards, but we should ban and seize all guns, thereby violating the 2nd, 4th, and 5th amendments to that Constitution.

16. Rifles and handguns aren’t necessary to national defense, which is why the army has millions of them.

17. Private citizens shouldn’t have handguns, because they serve no military purpose, and private citizens shouldn’t have “assault rifles,” because they are military weapons.

18. The ready availability of guns today, with waiting periods, background checks, fingerprinting, government forms, et cetera, is responsible for recent school shootings,compared to the lack of school shootings in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, which resulted from the availability of guns at hardware stores, surplus stores, gas stations, variety stores, mail order, et cetera.

19. The NRA’s attempt to run a “don’t touch” campaign about kids handling guns is propaganda, and the anti-gun lobby’s attempt to run a “don’t touch” campaign is responsible social activity.

20. Guns are so complex that special training is necessary to use them properly, and so simple to use that they make murder easy.

21. A handgun, with up to 4 controls, is far too complex for the typical adult to learn to use, as opposed to an automobile that only has 20.

22. Women are just as intelligent and capable as men but a woman with a gun is “an accident waiting to happen” and gun makers’ advertisements aimed at women are “preying on their fears.”

23. Ordinary people in the presence of guns turn into slaughtering butchers but revert to normal when the weapon is removed.

24. Guns cause violence, which is why there are so many mass killings at gun shows.

25. A majority of the population supports gun control, just like a majority of the population supported owning slaves.

26. A self-loading small arm can legitimately be considered to be a “weapon of mass destruction” or an “assault weapon.”

27. Most people can’t be trusted, so we should have laws against guns, which most people will abide by because they can be trusted.

28. The right of online pornographers to exist cannot be questioned because it is constitutionally protected by the Bill of Rights, but the use of handguns for self defense is not really protected by the Bill of Rights.

29. Free speech entitles one to own newspapers, transmitters, computers, and typewriters, but self-defense only justifies bare hands.

30. The ACLU is good because it uncompromisingly defends certain parts of the Constitution, and the NRA is bad, because it defends other parts of the Constitution.

31. Charlton Heston as president of the NRA is a shill who should be ignored, but Michael Douglas as a representative of Handgun Control, Inc. is an ambassador for peace who is entitled to an audience at the UN arms control summit.

32. Police operate with backup within groups, which is why they need larger capacity pistol magazines than do “civilians” who must face criminals alone and therefore need less ammunition.

33. We should ban “Saturday Night Specials” and other inexpensive guns because it’s not fair that poor people have access to guns too.

34. Police officers, who qualify with their duty weapons once or twice a year, have some special Jedi-like mastery over handguns that private citizens can never hope to obtain.

35. Private citizens don’t need a gun for self-protection because the police are there to protect them even though the Supreme Court says the police are not responsible for their protection.

36. Citizens don’t need to carry a gun for personal protection but police chiefs, who are desk-bound administrators who work in a building filled with cops, need a gun.

37. “Assault weapons” have no purpose other than to kill large numbers of people, which is why the police need them but “civilians” do not.

38. When Microsoft pressures its distributors to give Microsoft preferential promotion, that’s bad; but when the Federal government pressures cities to buy guns only from Smith & Wesson, that’s good.

39. Trigger locks do not interfere with the ability to use a gun for defensive purposes, which is why you see police officers with one on their duty weapon.

40. When Handgun Control, Inc., says they want to “keep guns out of the wrong hands,” they don’t mean you. Really.

Two forms of dictatorship

Excerpt from David Icke’s book, Children of the Matrix.

“When these european empires apparently collapsed or withdrew, this only happened on the surface, not in the fundamentals of control. There are two forms of dictatorship: one that you can see, the overt tyrannies like communism and fascism, and the covert dictatorship, which you cannot see because it operates in the strictest secrecy. It grows like a hidden cancer, eating into the positions of power in every are of society. The obvious, open, forms od dictatorship have a finite life because eventurally there will be a rebellion against control you can see touch and taste. There is an identifiable target on which to focus. However, covert dictatorship, control from behind the scenes, can go on forever util it is exposed because people do not rebel against not being free when they think they are. When the British and European empires appeared to unravel, these powers were only exchanging overt control for covert. While they appeared to give “independence” to their colonies, the bloodline and their secret society networks remained intact within those countries and they have continued to control them ever since. But, because no one knows this and the people see a president or prime minister of their own color or nation, it is assumed that the country is “free” and self governing.

I documented in the [book] The Biggest Secret, how the United States of America has never been free of control from London to this day and that the federal level of the US Government is a private corporation run from Europe. The President of the United States is merely this corporation’s temporary chief executive, the same role that the president of the former Virginia Company, which was formed in 1604 by the British Crown and “aristocratic” bloodlines to steal north america in the first place.

Those who control the food, control the people

This is perhaps the most important post I’ve ever made.

6 Ways Food is Being Used as a Weapon

Activist Post
July 25, 2011

Hungry people will do anything for food, which means that those who have control over food can use it as leverage.

In 1974, Henry Kissinger suggested using food as a weapon to induce targeted population reduction in a previously classified 200-page report, National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.  The primary tactic to be applied is that food aid would be withheld from developing nations until they submitted to birth control policies:

There is also some established precedent for taking account of family planning performance in appraisal of assistance requirements by AID [U.S. Agency for International Development] and consultative groups. Since population growth is a major determinant of increases in food demand, allocation of scarce PL 480 resources should take account of what steps a country is taking in population control as well as food production. In these sensitive relations, however, it is important in style as well as substance to avoid the appearance of coercion.

So, food was to be used as just another method of imperial colonization to force countries to conform their policies to those desired by the controllers. Notably, this tactic only works as a blunt weapon on territories enduring a severe economic collapse and with little resources for food production. Today, however, it appears that the entire globe is receiving an arsenal of food bombs as there appears to be a multifaceted attack on people’s access to food.  In other words, what has been an admitted tactic for nearly 40 years of controlling food aid for regional population reduction has now grown more complex and expansive.

Because of massive corporate consolidation of agriculture, centrally coordinated global regulations, a devalued commodity-dollar and unrestrained commodity speculation, chemical and genetic modification, and real or manipulated food shortages; there is indeed a war being waged — with food as the primary weapon.  Understand, this is a not purely a war on food, but rather a war on the general population. Therefore, it is crucial to understand these tactics in order to defend against them.

Here are six ways food is being used to wage war against the population:

1. Food inflation: Crippling food inflation is now affecting every corner of the world with the poorest feeling the worst pangs.  The U.N.  Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) food price index increased by 3 points to 234 points in June – a 39% increase on the year. These increases are causing mass starvation and rioting in many poor regions of the world, but they are also beginning to punish the middle-class in the Industrialized nations.  The price of food is inflating primarily because of a devalued commodity-dollar from excessive money printing and Wall Street commodity speculation.  Perhaps it’s more appropriate to call it commodity manipulation, not speculation.  As William Engdahl recently pointed out: “The ability to manipulate the price of essential foods worldwide at will — almost irrespective of today’s physical supply and demand for grains — is quite recent….Up until the grain crisis of the mid-1970s there was no single ‘world price’ for grain, the benchmark for the price of all foods and food products.”

What fuels commodity speculation is not just the obvious decline of the dollar and a flight to something tangible, but also genuine supply concerns based on a variety of factors that cause crop shortages like extreme weather or disease. Regardless of real or manipulated food shortages, food prices will continue to rise because of increased demand and an incrementally weaker dollar. Luckily, there are many ways to protect yourself from food inflation and the food war in general.

2. Shortages: Through supply controls, food shortages have been used as a weapon to create regional conflicts, to encourage peacekeeping missions, and as a foreign policy carrot — as clearly outlined in Kissinger’s 1974, Memorandum 200. The most recent examples can be found with the current and ongoing negotiations with North Korea who perpetually holds a nuclear gun to the West’s head in exchange for food. Somalia, who was food self-sufficient until the 1970s, has become a “failed state” because of food shortages.  Significantly, the situation in Somalia and other large-scale famine are usually caused by a manipulated economic collapse.  In fact, many have reported that the lack of food was an underlying factor of the Egyptian revolution.

Because of corporate consolidation of staple crops such as corn, soybeans, and wheat — and the central control of food aid — it is now easy to manipulate food shortages. But, clearly, there are also catastrophic weather events that destroy production in entire regions such as the heat wave in Russia last summer that caused them to restrict wheat exports in what some referred to as food wars. Many countries who had contracts with Russia were not happy, and their protectionist move had global effects on the food prices.  In other words, imminent food shortages are typically a localized problem, but because the food system is so interconnected, local problems now affect the global community.

3. Chemical Additives:  Chemical additives, from pesticides to preservatives, can only be viewed as a weapon in the depopulation agenda. Clearly, laboratory-concocted chemicals were never meant for human consumption.  Therefore, they can only be attributed to an effort to deliberately and slowly poison the population. Many food and drink toxins like fluoride, aspartame, or monosodium glutamate (MSG) are now well-known to have negative health effects. Other lab creations like high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are also beginning to prove very unhealthy with tests showing mercury in corn syrup.  Incidentally, we dare you to find any sweet food that doesn’t contain either aspartame or HFCS.  Even wholesome Campbell’s Tomato soup has HFCS, as does Heinz ketchup — while nearly every candy or gum contains aspartame.  It’s estimated that the average American consumes 12 teaspoons of HFCS per day, while the younger population consumes nearly double that. “Mercury is toxic in all its forms. Given how much high-fructose corn syrup is consumed by children, it could be a significant additional source of mercury never before considered,” said Dr. David Wallinga of the Agriculture and Trade Policy whose study found about a third of brand-name foods with HFCS had measurable amounts of mercury.

Pesticides fall into the chemical additive category — GM pesticides especially (called Bt toxins).  They are found in the blood stream of nearly all North Americans, and even in 80% of their unborn babies. It is presumed these toxins are acquired by eating genetically modified corn or soy, and from the livestock that feed on it.  A recent study proved that the chemical found in best-selling pesticides, glyphosate, causes birth defects among other ailments.  We must understand that although all of these toxins, and a host of others, are approved for consumption by the FDA, it doesn’t make them safe.  And even the ones that have exotic names but have yet to be proven to have ill effects surely have a cumulative impact on human health.  They’re so pervasive that it seems impossible to evade them, but there are still ways to eat like a human.

4. Regulations:  By restricting food freedom, regulatory agencies purposely increase dependence on the Big Ag monopoly cartel that fully controls the basic building blocks of food. Simply put, those who control the corn, wheat, soybeans and rice, control all food, since all livestock and all processed foods are dependent on those food sources.  In America, and increasingly around the world, this cartel places their cronies in government regulatory agencies like the USDA to weed out their competition through excessive regulation.  Furthermore, this restriction of food freedom is happening in concert across the globe, precisely because it is a top-down globalist initiative driven by international regulatory agencies such as the World Trade Organization and the United Nations. It is a complex, interwoven agenda that takes into account everything from health safety to land use rights in order to force independent food producers to conform in ways that only benefit a global corporate structure.  Regulatory agencies are one of the primary weapons deployed against independent living.

5. Genetic Modification:  There are many reasons to avoid eating genetically modified food, from health concerns to supporting a fundamentally evil food cartel.  Genetically modified foods are the path to monopolies over human life through patented technology and environmental destruction by chemical-heavy monoculture practices.  GMOs are so pervasive in the United States that it is estimated that 70% of the average American diet contains them.  Many European countries, and other regions, have rejected GMOs.  Hungary recently destroyed illegal GM corn crops and plans to make distributing seeds a felony offense. However, because of corporate/political pressure, most resistant countries are being forced to adopt them.  All of this despite the fact that environmental infection and contamination are proven effects of transgenic plants.  Meanwhile, the control is being implemented under convoluted patent laws, where the mutation itself signifies originality and control over the natural organism it imitates.

Google Monsanto and you’ll understand about Genetic Modification.

6. The Weather:  Weather undeniably affects food access and food costs.  One glance at maps across the globe reveals that food production areas are being especially hard hit, and we are seeing prices rise accordingly.  These natural events can be exploited both by speculators and governments. However, with the introduction of weather modification, invested in by those such as Bill Gates and openly promoted by elite globalist think tanks, concerns have been raised over the possibility that governments could use weather as a deliberate weapon to create food wars.  Accusations have already been leveled charging exactly that.  While some might dismiss the various possibilities of “steering the weather” for malevolent purposes as conspiracy, it is much more difficult to ignore the 1996 document presented to the Air Force titled Owning the Weather 2025 (PDF), which explicitly states as a heading on page 10: Applying Weather-modification to Military Operations.  One key section states that weather control could be virtual, as well as literal:

Offensive abilities could provide spoofing options to create virtual weather in the enemy’s sensory and information systems, making it more likely for them to make decisions producing results of our choosing rather than theirs. It would also allow for the capability to mask or disguise our weather-modification activities.

[...]

Also key to the feasibility of such a system is the ability to model the extremely complex nonlinear system of global weather in ways that can accurately predict the outcome of changes in the influencing variables.

[...]

Conceivably, with enough lead time and the right conditions, you could get “made-to-order” weather.

This would certainly be the ultimate endgame for anyone wishing to use food as a weapon of control and profit.  This possibility should not be easily dismissed, but rather it warrants open-minded investigation and research.

As we can see, food control is full spectrum, with wars being declared on the individual, states, and sovereign nations simultaneously.  Food controllers utilize health, politics, and economics to integrate their agenda.  Only full spectrum solutions can be employed as protection.  There is much hope to be offered through alternative markets, barter systems, and local co-ops.  We welcome your thoughts in the comments section below about other creative ideas we can implement to preserve our independence.

Woman Sobs at “Humiliating” TSA Pat Down

Distressed woman filmed receiving full body grope down, cameraman told “do not talk to her”

Steve Watson
Infowars.com
July 26, 2011

A new video of a distressed woman receiving a full body pat-down after going through an AIT body scanner reminds Americans that they are the real targets of the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security’s crackdown at airports and other public places across the country.

The woman was filmed at Chicago O’Hare International Airport by a bystander who was initially concerned by the fact that the TSO attending to her was pregnant and in close proximity to the radiation emitting body scanners.

“While waiting for my now chronically delayed flight from ORD, I noticed a pregnant TSO working around the AIT.” the man explains on the flyertalk forum.

“The TSO was performing pat-downs, but was constantly moving near the machines. I found it concerning that (1) a pregnant woman would willingly expose herself to a radiation-laden work environment with no protection and (2) that her employers would allow her to do so. At the very least, couldn’t they assign her duties that don’t have her working right next to the machines.”

The bystander then noticed that the woman the TSO was patting down was visibly upset and attempted to reassure her by saying he was filming the incident and would happily provide a copy of the video.

Another agent then marched up to the man and demanded that he stop communicating with the woman receiving the grope down.

Apparently the TSA now believes it has the authority to prevent people in public places from talking to each other. It is surprising that the agent did not attempt to prevent the man from filming the incident as has so often been the case in other similar scenarios.

After the woman was finally able to collect her personal belongings and move through the security line, she exchanged details with the bystander, sobbing, “That was absolutely humiliating, why did they have to do that?”

Watch the video:

In the same week as this incident, bladder cancer survivor Thomas Sawyer was left covered in his own urine by TSA agents for the second time in a year following an aggressive pat down.

It’s good to know the enemy is being kept at bay by the TSA.

 

U.S. Troops deployed on U.S. streets? How close are we to Martial Law?

How soon will the United States be under Military Law?

These 2 videos are from 2008 but are they pertinent to today?   The President of the United States can, at any time, declare a state of emergency and put U.S. troops on our streets for crowd control, for civil disobedience.

“As long as you believe in the cause, is it okay?”

Think about it, our police are now militarized, they can do no knock raids on any home, your home, which is dangerous for many reasons, one of which is that someone will inevitably be killed, most likely the home dweller who unwittingly believe that it’s criminals invading their homes and along those same lines the criminals can use this technique themselves.

In 2003 a father and son in Abbeville, SC were involved in a land dispute, the police came in military tanks.  In the news reports it was brought up that they found copies of the Constitution and other propaganda and anti American items.  Since when is the Constitution considered propaganda and anti American?

1992 Los Angeles Riots, U.S. Army and U.S. Marines were brought in to quell the civil unrest.

In 1957, President Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army to Little Rock Arkansas to enforce court ordered integration.

2006 New Orleans, National Guard brought in to restore order to New Orleans in the wake of Katrina, reports that National Guardsmen confiscated weapons legally owned by citizens.

These 2 videos, part 1 and part 2 are about Northern Command’s plan to use troops and the backtracking they are doing now that they have caught the attention of media and civilians.   Secretary of Defense can order the use of military on our soil.

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

Raquel Nelson was sentenced in Cobb County Superior Court on Tuesday on a vehicular homicide charge.

An attorney for the 30-year-old woman says she and her children were crossing a street in April after getting off a bus, three-tenths of a mile from a crosswalk. The attorney says Nelson’s daughter and son bolted from a median.

They were struck by a van, slightly injuring Nelson and her daughter but killing her son.

The driver, Jerry Guy, pleaded guilty to hit-and-run and served a six-month sentence.
