I am sure most have either witnessed or been told of quote “Free speech zones” during Government gatherings, political conventions, townhall meetings, etc. This begs the question: Is there really a such thing as free speech if you can be told where it does and does not apply? The Constitution makes quite clear that American soil by default is a free speech zone, and the establishment of an area well outside the view or vicinity of an event being protested is a bold and unconstitutional assault on every Americans God given rights.
Whats more, a law enforcement decree that an assembly of peaceful demonstrators is “unlawful” is simply unlawful in itsself according to the highest law of the land, rights given by our creator as enumerated by the Constitution.
If you follow the video links back to their source, there is an abundance of video documentation of these illegal tactics being used by police during the G-20 protests. Please view them at your leisure, and seriously contemplate within yourself, the meaning of this to you, and our republic as a whole. Please remember those in Washington who brought you this assault on our very freedoms. Remember, this is not simply a matter of Democrats being the majority party in control, also remember that it was a Republican majority that brought us the very draconian “Patriot Act”. The American people are beginning to realize that the appearance may be a little different between the two, but the resulting fruit of their efforts are indeed alike. Exactly because they are two sides of the very same coin.
Amendment I of the United States Constitution states:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I believe it is important to realise that while it is outside the bounds of law enforcement to infringe upon peaceful demonstrations, and/or harass or arrest non-lawbreaking citizens, a clever, highly outrageous, and thankfully well documented tool used by Government agencies over the course of decades has been the use of undercover agents to blend in with and discredit well-meaning people who simply wish to shed light on actions and policies taken by those in power which are not within legal boundaries. Please take time to watch the following synopsis of this very subject.
It is not necessary to agree or disagree with a protest or demonstration to understand their God-given right to do so. Nor is it necessary to be among their ranks to understand the clearly sinister motives behind an attempt to illegally attempt to stop them from doing so. We simply must ask the question: For what reason would such an effort be made to discredit a movement who does not have a basis in truth, or a legitimate question of authoritative bodies actions?
Please consider this before receiving the H1N1 vaccine. I am not a doctor, but personally, there are alot of things that don’t add up with what has been reported. For instance….. Health officials have stated that this particular flu hits teens and young adults the hardest, which does not make a whole lot of sense when you have a basic understanding that it is that particular age group that as a rule has the strongest immune system of any life stage. Also keep in mind that at this point, this”swine flu” has killed less people world wide than the run of the mill seasonal flu. That being the case, whats all the hysteria about? Something stinks, and its not the coffee………
I would reccomend everyone research and educate themselves before taking a vaccine based on complete faith in a Government and Media generated hysteria………….
The first thing you will notice about this report is that the reporter either had the sense of humor, or an unashamed bias to do this report against the backdrop of a giant murial on the side of a building of our Dear Lead… err…. I mean President.
Even if you disagree with this young man hanging the signs, you cannot take away his right to have his political views seen and heard as long as they are within the boundaries of a common sense decorum. Obviously you would not want anyone to hang signs on stop signs, as this would be an obvious safety hazard. However, being thrown against the hood of a police car and hand-cuffed for hanging signs on telephone poles? I guess little Suzy will just have to get over her lost kitty.
Folks, your rights are alot like muscles in the sense that if you don’t exercise them, you will inevitably lose them. These types of news stories should be shocking and bizarre enough to all of us that they are national news. Just imagine how loudly reporters and civil rights organizations from sea to shining sea would have crowed about something like this just 2 years ago, and rightly so! If you were old enough to see what public free speech rights looked like 20 years ago, there is a sharp contrast versus how our unrepresenting representatives are placed on pedestals out of bounds to criticism of their actions. Or lack there of.
It cannot be overstated. No President of the United States has ever taken the chairmanship of the United Nations Security Council. That is…… until now.
<Barack Obama will cement the new co-operative relationship between the US and the United Nations this month when he becomes the first American president to chair its 15-member Security Council.
The topic for the summit-level session of the council on September 24 is nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament – one of several global challenges that the US now wants to see addressed at a multinational level.
UN officials also hope a climate change debate on September 22 will give fresh impetus to the search for a global climate deal at Copenhagen in December. There are also hopes a possible meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Prime Minister, and Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority president, that Mr. Obama would host, could lead to a breakthrough about a timetable for Middle East peace.>
Unbelievable! Since Mr. Obama made a habit of reminding us all that he is a constitutional scholar, and he, for a time, taught the Constitution, he is indeed aware that he has boken the law by this action. If you are unsure about the specifics of what the Constitution says about this, please see section 9 which reads:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
What truly makes issues such as this truly dangerous is the fact that the mainstream media is dead silent, and in fact, complicit in Mr. Obama’s dereliction of duty.
News reports all over the internet and television report of ‘thousands’ rallying in D.C. to protest against health reform, and president Obama. This type of headline not only downplays this important event, but also seriously misrepresents it. This was a massive show of dis-satisfaction with government as a whole, and anyone who saw pictures or video from the event can easily discern for themselves that this wasn’t just a rally of thousands, more accurately, 1.5 to 2 Million if an honest count was taken.
Furthermore, in a brazen show of elitist arrogance, Mr. Obama chose to skip out of town and head to Minnesota to pitch what the majority of Americans now see as a complete disaster in the making. A defiant Obama insisted that his health reform efforts would not be in vain, and vowed to press on despite what has clearly become a deafening roar of objection from the American people.
The most beautiful thing about the turnout of this rally in D.C. and countless others around the nation is that people are finally beginning to see through the partisan game played by Republicans and Democrats alike. The American people have had enough of big government run by the elite party monopoly, and their domination of power is beginning to crumble.
The Washington Times, NY Times, and cable news as well as a slew of other media sources did their best to downplay the rallies as partisan conservatives protesting against Obama. However, whenever a question was asked by a pundit to a protest participant, the overwhelming message again and again was that the American people have had enough of big government continually overstepping its boundaries and using strong armed and manipulative tactics to suppress opposition no matter who is in power. We saw several examples of this during the Bush administration, and although lots of faces have changed on capitol hill, the playbook being used is exactly the same. The media spin is also a good example of their tendency of continuing to misrepresent not only the message, but the volume of the masses. The tactics that have hampered liberty and prosperity for decades in our republic have been exposed. While things on the surface look desperate for the immediate future, there is a real sense of hope starting in 2010. We the people have an opportunity to replace self-serving elitists with honest constitutional statesmen that will once again begin the hard but much needed process of limiting the Federal Government back to the chains of the Constitution.
Whats going to be important for all of us to remember is that career politicians are very skilled at saying the right thing during an election season in order to maintain office. This has been done time and time again by both major parties throughout decades of Federal expansion, and I’ve a feeling that it finally is being seen for what it really is. Lets keep that in mind during the upcoming year, and lets make sure they are forced to remember it next November.
If anyone has any doubt about how bad the powers that be misrepresent or underestimate the American People, this time lapse appears like a river of American anger flowing into the heart of D.C.
“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”
This was truly a moment worth watching the Great one’s address to Congress
For the record:
Pg. 50 Section 152 in Health Care Bill: Health Care will be provided to ALL non-US citizens, illegal or otherwise.
You have to stand in awe at the way this administration thumbs its nose at not only opposing points of view, but also God’s given truth. This is not the change the American people voted for. Its almost tough to talk about Washington needing a change. Barack Obama has literally tainted the word ‘change’ by the way he has conducted his administration over his first 8+ months in office. The only possible change he has created is a slightly steeper angle of descent in our downward spiral.
Whats truly needed to make the change so desparately yearned for to save our republic, isn’t another politician. We need Statesmen. We don’t need a Capitol full of self-serving politicians, or narcissistic Chicago thugs to lie, cheat, intimidate, and scam their way to the ultimate goal of total destruction of liberty for all but themselves.
Its time for We The People to fire the political ’shot heard ’round the world’ by electing a true statesman who understands and applies the original intent of the Founding Fathers through the Constitution.
HR45: Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 would be an egregious assault on every American’s right to bear arms. The bottom line in a case such as this is that no government body can legally require a citizen to carry a license in order to exercise a right. This is a bit like requiring you to acquire a “free speech” license. It is a fundamental right in the Constitution of the United States of America that “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed“. Please see a summary, as well of full text on the bill here:
As a state, we Floridians must, through burning hot phone lines, make very clear that we believe in the second amendment, and our right to bear arms shall not be infringed.
If you have heard of, or done any research on the “REX 84″ program or “F.E.M.A. Camps”, you may already be aware of this bill sponsored by Florida’s own District 23 Representative Alcee Hastings. The same Alcee Hastings who spent 10 years as a Federal Judge before being impeached on charges of corruption and perjury in 1989. Is it a surprise to anyone that someone guilty of taking bribes and lying under oath would end up as a member of congress? I didn’t think so. See details about this bill, including full text here: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-645
While the subject of these camps have been met with scepticism and outright scorn, this type of legislation does little to quell the fears of citizens who still have unanswered questions about what these supposed facilities are being built for. Perhaps it would be a good idea for all of us to contact our representatives in Washington and start asking for answers. You can use this link to find the representative for your area http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home.
Keep something in mind while looking into this particular subject…. Whats important to remember is not necessarily whether any of the worst case scenarios some speculate are true or not, thats for you to decide for yourself. The real key issue is whether this is in any way legal or constitutional.
Here is a short video that sheds a little light on the “REX 84″ a.k.a. “Readiness Exercise 1984″ program……….
Now, perhaps before anyone utters the phrase “conspiracy theory” (Although it is tough to do so knowing that this is a real proposition with real legislation behind it) I would ask that you watch the video a second time, paying close attention to the facial expressions and body language of Mr. North, as well as some of the officials seated around the committee chairman. If there is nothing to this, then Washington should have no problem answering some tough questions. Time to get on the phone, folks.
A special Thank You to R. Burton for reminding me of this bill…. Please keep the suggestions coming, as we all know, it is impossible for one person to track every assault on our liberties flying through and out of Washington these days.
Cops jump on swine-flu power: Shots heard ’round the world Pandemic bill allows health authorities to enter homes, detain without warrant
A “pandemic response bill” currently making its way through the Massachusetts state legislature would allow authorities to forcefully quarantine citizens in the event of a health emergency, compel health providers to vaccinate citizens, authorize forceful entry into private dwellings and destruction of citizen property and impose fines on citizens for noncompliance.
If citizens refuse to comply with isolation or quarantine orders in the event of a health emergency, they may be imprisoned for up to 30 days and fined $1,000 per day that the violation continues.
Massachusetts’ pandemic response bill
“Pandemic Response Bill” 2028 was passed by the Massachusetts state Senate on April 28 and is now awaiting approval in the House.
As stated in the bill, upon declaration by the governor that an emergency exists that is considered detrimental to public health or upon declaration of a state of emergency, a local public health authority, with approval of the commissioner, may exercise the following authorities (emphasis added):
to require the owner or occupier of premises to permit entry into and investigation of the premises;
to close, direct, and compel the evacuation of, or to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated any building or facility, and to allow the reopening of the building or facility when the danger has ended;
to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated, or to destroy any material;
to restrict or prohibit assemblages of persons;
to require a health care facility to provide services or the use of its facility, or to transfer the management and supervision of the health care facility to the department or to a local public health authority;
to control ingress to and egress from any stricken or threatened public area, and the movement of persons and materials within the area;
to adopt and enforce measures to provide for the safe disposal of infectious waste and human remains, provided that religious, cultural, family, and individual beliefs of the deceased person shall be followed to the extent possible when disposing of human remains, whenever that may be done without endangering the public health;
to procure, take immediate possession from any source, store, or distribute any anti-toxins, serums, vaccines, immunizing agents, antibiotics, and other pharmaceutical agents or medical supplies located within the commonwealth as may be necessary to respond to the emergency;
to require in-state health care providers to assist in the performance of vaccination, treatment, examination, or testing of any individual as a condition of licensure, authorization, or the ability to continue to function as a health care provider in the commonwealth;
to waive the commonwealth’s licensing requirements for health care professionals with a valid license from another state in the United States or whose professional training would otherwise qualify them for an appropriate professional license in the commonwealth;
to allow for the dispensing of controlled substance by appropriate personnel consistent with federal statutes as necessary for the prevention or treatment of illness;
to authorize the chief medical examiner to appoint and prescribe the duties of such emergency assistant medical examiners as may be required for the proper performance of the duties of office;
to collect specimens and perform tests on any animal, living or deceased;
to exercise authority under sections 95 and 96 of chapter 111;
to care for any emerging mental health or crisis counseling needs that individuals may exhibit, with the consent of the individuals
State and local agencies responding to the public health emergency would be required to exercise their powers over transportation routes, communication devices, carriers, public utilities, fuels, food, clothing and shelter, according to the legislation.
Local public health authorities will be required to keep records of reports containing the name and location of all people who have been reported, their disease, injury, or health condition and the name of the person reporting the case. In addition, citizens may be subject to “involuntary transportation.”
Line 341 of the bill states, “Law enforcement authorities, upon order of the commissioner or his agent or at the request of a local public health authority pursuant to such order, shall assist emergency medical technicians or other appropriate medical personnel in the involuntary transportation of such person to the tuberculosis treatment center. No law enforcement authority or medical personnel shall be held criminally or civilly liable as a result of an act or omission carried out in good faith in reliance on said order.”
Vaccinate or isolate
Whenever the commissioner or a public-health authority decides it is necessary to prevent a serious danger to the public health, they are authorized:
(1) to vaccinate or provide precautionary prophylaxis (preventative procedure) to individuals as protection against communicable disease and to prevent the spread of communicable or possible communicable disease, provided that any vaccine to be administered must not be such as is reasonably likely to lead to serious harm to the affected individual; and(2) to treat individuals exposed to or infected with disease, provided that treatment must not be such as is reasonably likely to lead to serious harm to the affected individual. An individual who is unable or unwilling to submit to vaccination or treatment shall not be required to submit to such procedures but may be isolated or quarantined … if his or her refusal poses a serious danger to public health or results in uncertainty whether he or she has been exposed to or is infected with a disease or condition that poses a serious danger to public health, as determined by the commissioner, or a local public health authority operating within its jurisdiction. (emphasis added)
Under such circumstances, authorities are also allowed to decontaminate individuals and perform physical examinations, tests and specimen collection to determine whether “an individual presents a risk to public health.” If a citizen refuses, he or she may be isolated, quarantined and/or detained “for as long as may be reasonably necessary,” the bill states.
Law enforcement authorities are authorized to “arrest without warrant any person whom the officer has probable cause to believe has violated an order for isolation or quarantine and shall use reasonable diligence to enforce such order. Any person who knowingly violates an order for isolation or quarantine shall be punished by imprisonment of not more than 30 days and may be subject to a civil fine of not more than $1,000 per day that the violation continues.” (emphasis added)
Other state quarantine orders
As WND reported, a blank document from the Iowa Department of Public Health has been discovered online, designed to be filled in with the name of an H1N1 virus victim who is required to relocate from his or her home to a quarantine facility.
The form, which began appearing Aug 31 in e-mails and on the Internet, has concerned a confused public already swimming in conflicting reports about the severity of the swine flu and intrusive government measures that many fear may be taken if the disease becomes a pandemic.
The Iowa document, which WND confirmed with state officials is authentic, has done little to calm the public’s fears.
“The Iowa Department of Public Health has determined that you have had contact with a person with Novel Influenza A H1N1,” the form reads. “The Department has determined that it is necessary to quarantine your movement to a specific facility to prevent further spread of this disease.
“The Department has determined that quarantine in your home and other less restrictive alternatives are not acceptable,” the document continues, before listing mandatory provisions of compliance with relocation to a quarantine facility.
According to the CDC, the following states have implemented legal actions in response to the H1N1 virus:
North Carolina – The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services released a draft isolation order that would provide for imprisonment for up to two years and pretrial detention without bail for any citizen who fails to comply with an isolation order.
Washington – Washington grants authority to local health officers to issue emergency detention orders causing citizens to be immediately and involuntarily isolated or quarantined for up to 10 days.
In addition, governors and health commissioners in the following states have declared a state of emergency since April following concerns about the H1N1 virus: California, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Next step: Mandatory swine flu vaccines?
According to the White House, “Since the novel 2009-H1N1 flu virus emerged in the United States during the third week of April, the president has received regular briefings and asked his Cabinet to spare no effort in addressing this national security challenge.”
The White House also lists as a priority, “Preparing for a voluntary, but strongly recommended, H1N1 flu shot program to be available to all Americans that wish to participate over a period of time.”
Fischer said, “Public health doctors have persuaded legislators to pass pandemic influenza legislation that will allow state officials to enter homes and businesses without the consent of occupants, to investigate and quarantine individuals without their consent, to require licensed health-care providers to give citizens vaccines and to ban the free assembly of citizens in the state.”
She said World Health Organization doctors “immediately went into high gear” within days of identifying the new swine flu virus emerging out of Mexico and declared a public-health emergency. Now, Fischer says, the CDC is taking the opportunity to exercise unprecedented power.
“Whenever the CDC now declares a public-health emergency, that declaration allows the Food and Drug Administration to permit emergency-use authorization for drug companies to fast-track creation of experimental drugs and vaccines that do not have to be tested as thoroughly as vaccines that go through the normal FDA-licensing process.
“In this case, Congress responded to the public health emergency declaration by giving a group of drug companies $1 billion to fast-track experimental swine flu vaccines that may include whole, live or killed, or genetically engineered human and animal viruses, chemicals and potentially reactive oil-based adjuvants that manipulate the immune system to boost the vaccine’s potency. People who already have sensitive immune systems, such as those with allergy and autoimmune disorders, may be at special risk.”
Furthermore, Fischer said 80 percent of all flu-like illness in a normal flu season is not caused by type A and B strains of influenza contained in annual flu shots.
While Fischer argues that citizens should be given the opportunity to voluntarily submit to flu vaccinations, she said, “Vaccine-acquired immunity is temporary while immunity gained after recovering from influenza is longer lasting.”
She said people born before 1957 may be naturally protected and at lower risk of being infected because they have long-lasting antibodies working against the virus and helping them resist infection.
“Will health officials allow our children and grandchildren to get the same kind of natural, longer-lasting protective antibodies to type A and B influenza, including the new swine flu?” she asked. “It looks like few choices will be allowed.”
Cure more deadly than disease?
Although White House science advisers have warned that up to 90,000 Americans might die from H1N1 during the coming flu season, the head of the CDC responded by telling the public to ignore such a high mortality estimate, saying the current H1N1 couldn’t kill that many people without mutating.
Use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States in 1976 resulted in 25 people suffering from severe paralysis and dying from respiratory failure after being injected with the vaccine – more than the number of lives claimed from the virus itself.
Additionally, the vaccine is said to contain thimerosal, a preservative ingredient composed of mercury that has been linked to autism in young children.
The FDA states, “Thimerosal has been removed from or reduced to trace amounts in all vaccines routinely recommended for children 6 years of age and younger, with the exception of inactivated influenza vaccine.”
Thimerosal has also been linked to Guillain-Barre syndrome, or GBS – a serious disorder that occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the nervous system and may result in death.
In 1976, health officials found nearly 500 cases of GBS, and the vaccine was withdrawn 10 weeks after the link with GBS was suspected. Following the 1976 vaccination against swine flu in the U.S., a retrospective study found a likely eight-fold increase in the incidence of GBS.
Now that the nation is preparing for another round of H1N1 flu shots, the Oregonian reported that the federal government is urging neurologists to keep a close watch for new cases of GBS.
In a study conducted at the University of Hong Kong, the British Medical Journal reported that less than half of 8,500 doctors and nurses in public hospitals will accept vaccination against the swine flu – even following increases in the World Health Organization’s pandemic alert level.
The study revealed, “The major barriers identified were fear of side effects and doubts about efficacy.”
According to the following report by Russia Today, investigative journalist Wayne Madsen revealed that even scientists who helped develop a vaccine for small pox are saying they will not take the vaccine and urging friends and family to refrain from taking the injection as well:
Nonetheless, federal authorities are preparing to launch a nationwide campaign to convince Americans to get the swine flu vaccine, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Government officials have expressed concern that public demand for immunization will not be high enough.
“Many parents (in focus groups) expressed a lot of concerns about 2009 H1N1 vaccine. Those concerns were centered around the fact that it was new and it was being developed quickly,” said Kris Sheedy, a communications director with the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. “There were comments such as ‘this is new and I don’t want my child to be a guinea pig.’”
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the government will spend “about $16 million on outreach to convince people of the need to get the swine flu vaccine.”
As WND reported, alarmist language over possible outbreaks of swine flu as well as a series of moves by the federal government are fueling fears federal agents will soon be forcing citizens to be vaccinated – prompting the Constitution Party to launch a pre-emptive defense against any such effort.
Fischer warned that Americans must become educated about vaccination, influenza, vaccine risks and public health laws in their states.
“Every pharmaceutical drug, including vaccines, carries a risk. And those risks are greater for some than others,” she said. “In this time of fear, we can’t let that fear take away our freedom to make voluntary health decisions. The human right to informed consent to medical risk taking gives citizens the power to make sure that the cure is not more dangerous than the disease.”
