Lone Star WatchdogThe establishment is circling the wagons on all fronts because they are trying to make excuses why they are violating our rights. I would watch NCIS on CBS. A suspect would be taken in. Instead of talking to Special Agent Gibbs. The accused would say ” I want my lawyer” The Navy cop would say” I am invoking the Patriot Act putting you on a plane to Gitmo if you do not talk”
It is all a written script made for TV for propaganda purposes trying to make the Patriots Act and the NDAA sound reasonable and legitimate in fighting the phony war on terrorism. Making it look like the Patriot Act and the NDAA supersedes the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in the name of national security. The Bill of Rights on being trampled TV denying the right to due process and the assistance of council shows how much the establishment has contempt of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights
Now with the controversy surrounding the NSA wiretapping all communications around the globe. Many people are upset with eh US government eavesdropping on private conversations.
What about the TSA groping people and putting people in a full body scanners without probable cause violating the Fourth Amendment.
What about people put on a No Fly List. The accused has no right to confront the accuser. They can never get their name removed from the list. No judge or jury.denied due process of law losing the right to travel by the conveyance of choice because of an arbitrary law.
The press being attacked for exposing corruption and crimes by the Federal government. One of the cornerstones of our freedoms is a free press being the fourth estate.
We have in the name of the war on drugs asset and forfeiture laws that allows Law enforcement to steal cash in a traffic stop or take personal property without just compensation that is an assault on the Bill of Rights and due process of law.
We have the IRS harassing people taking bank accounts and property without due process. This agency has been feared for decades and should be abolished.
To those in the system will use some statute or law passed by congress or regulation as their excuse to attack people God given rights. Do they agree with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? Most government agents and elected politicians have taken the oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. They are fooled and deceived that a foreign enemy is Al Quada which is more a CIA asset to steal our freedoms as an excuse of a perceived external threat. That is no excuse to trample the basic rights of the people violating the Constitution.
Court cases have proved the Constitution is the law of the land above all regulations, statutes and laws passed by Congress. The Supreme COurt has stated over and over in cases like
Bennett v. Boggs, 1 Baldw:
“Statutes that violate the plain and obvious principles of common right and common reason are null and void.”
When the government goes after the free press for exposing corruption and criminal actions of elected servants or government agents. If a government worker leaks information that exposes the illegal constitutional activities in secret being made public exercising freedom of speech. The Espionage act cannot restrict the right to free speech criticizing the government.
In the Supreme Court Case Miranda v. Arizona.:
“Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them.”
That means Obama’s internal memos trying to crack down on internal leaks exposing corruption and violations of people rights is not laws of the land. Then if a person who is a whistle blower who leaks a story that the people ought to know. Using the Espionage Act cannot be used to attack freedom of speech not be used to force a government worker who has taken an oath be forced to violate it. If they uphold their oath, they are charged as a spy. Here is the US Supreme court case that throw criminalizing a free press and whistle blowers in the government.
Miller v. US
“The claim and exercise of a constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime.”
and Sherer v. Cullen
There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one because of this exercise of constitutional rights.”
and Marbury vs.Madison:
“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.”
Not to forget the supremacy clause in the Constitution that does not make the Federal Government superior but say the Constitution supersedes all laws, statutes and regulations In Article 6 of the US Constitution states:
“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof;…shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or laws of any State to the Contrary not one word withstanding.”
The Constitution is the final authority that is above all laws passed by the state legislatures and the Congress. If the law is not in agreement with the Constitution like Obamacare, The NDAA and the Patriot Act and any Gun Control laws passed are null and void if the American people act as the final check on power when they try to over reach. Life would be different.
We never consented to the government attacking our rights. They can use any excuse of a statute, a US code or regulation giving them the perceived authority to violate our rights. The the truth is our Constitution is the law of the land. Any questions?
Some Americans already know we’re living and have been living under the jack-boot heel of tyranny for some time.
Others are waking up to that fact and others, well, they prefer to ignore reality and use what’s left of their rotting brain to watch TV to escape the reality that we’re all slaves.
The Constitution? It’s what GW Bush called it, “just a G**damn piece of paper,” to the PTB, only to be used to reinforce some law they need or want to protect their lying, theiving murderous ways but to be ignored when someone tries to invoke that hallowed document to protect our rights.
