Free Speech?
Somewhere deep underground at the Ministry of Truth, a fresh young mind hunkers in his bunker and monitors the internet for “suspicious activity and dissident rhetoric”. He loves Big Brother and is ever vigilant in his pursuit of thought crime within the populus of the North American Union. You can rest easy now citizen, you can feel safe, knowing that thousands more just like him are monitoring and analyzing your every email, and phone call.
See something wrong with this picture citizen???
You should.
If you're old enough, maybe you remember the 60's with Hoover and COINTELPRO. Remember when the “establishment” was watching everyone for UN American Activity???
Wake up You now live in a Police State where legitimate dissent is tabu. You may not criticize your Party Leadership, der Stat, nor der fuerher. The Ministry of Truth will distort and you shall comply.
“The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed HR 1955 titled the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This bill is one of the most blatant attacks against the Constitution yet and actually defines thought crimes as homegrown terrorism. If passed into law, it will also establish a commission and a Center of Excellence to study and defeat so called thought criminals. Unlike previous anti-terror legislation, this bill specifically targets the civilian population of the United States and uses vague language to define homegrown terrorism. Amazingly, 404 of our elected representatives from both the Democrat and Republican parties voted in favor of this bill. There is little doubt that this bill is specifically targeting the growing patriot community that is demanding the restoration of the Constitution.
This bill is completely insane. It literally allows the government to define any and all crimes including thought crime as violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism. Obviously, this legislation is unconstitutional on a number of levels and it is clear that all 404 representatives who voted in favor of this bill are traitors and should be removed from office immediately. The treason spans both political parties and it shows us all that there is no difference between them. The bill will go on to the Senate and will likely be passed and signed into the law by George W. Bush. Considering that draconian legislation like the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act have already been passed, there seems little question that this one will get passed as well. This is more proof that our country has been completely sold out by a group of traitors at all levels of government.”
At America's inception, citizens demanded a guarantee of their basic freedoms.
Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people...Be not intimidated, therefore, by any terrors, from publishing with the utmost freedom...nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your freedom ...Samuel Adams
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. - excerpt from the u.S. Declaration of Independence signed in 1776.
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.
— The First Article Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution
The founding fathers made it abundantly clear that We the People have an unalienable Right to express our opinions and beliefs, to criticize our government and expose any wrong doing by it's public servants. In fact, citizens have a duty to do so.
The Right to speech and assembly also includes the right to associate, freely, with those of like mind. Guilt by association, although sometimes evident in today's judicial system, is an inherent right without the authority of any government, but guaranteed to be protected by the government, by order of the Constitution; in the First Amendment, which prohibits federal enactments that would limit that Right; and, Article I, Section 8, clause 17, which is outside the jurisdiction of federal authority; Article I, Section 10, clause 1, which prohibits any state from passing any Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts , which is the nature of any association; Articles IX , Bill of Rights, The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people; and, Article X, The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Without the First Amendment, religious minorities could be persecuted, the government might well establish a national religion, protesters could be silenced, the press could not criticize government, and citizens could not mobilize for social change.
The First Amendment ensures that if there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein, as Justice Robert Jackson wrote in the 1943 case West Virginia v. Barnette.
And as Justice William Brennan wrote in New York Times v. Sullivan in 1964, the First Amendment provides that debate on public issues ... [should be] ... uninhibited, robust, and wide-open.
The First Amendment has been interpreted by the Supreme Court as applying to the entire federal government even though it is only expressly applicable to Congress. Furthermore, the Court has interpreted, the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as protecting the rights in the First Amendment.
Over the years the federal government has exceeded the limits of power granted to it by the United States Constitution. Large numbers of Americans now see the encroachment of our government on the unalienable rights of we the people. The government is now trying to silence the voice of all who dissent with unconstitutional government.
“Many have over time tried to correct these unconstitutional actions with non violence as many are still trying to do. But according to the House of Representatives we as Equal citizens and creators and master of our Government no longer have a right of redress and no longer have a right if it came to such means as to take violent action in order to secure the rights of our children and for future generations.”
Woe to those who decree unjust statutes and to those who continually record unjust decisions, to deprive the needy of justice, and to rob the poor of My people of their rights... Isaiah 10:1-2
The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution is the Supreme Law of this Republic of States, and any statute, to be lawfull, must be in agreement. It is impossible for a law which violates the Constitution to be valid.
All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void. Marbury vs Madison 1803
Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them. Miranda vs Arizona, 384 US 436 p491
An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed. Norton vs Shelby County 118 US 425 p442
The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment, and not merely from the date of decision so branding it.
No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it. 16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177 late 2d, Sec 256
We the People are A Well Regulated Militia. We are necessary for the security of a free state with a republican form of government in which ALL rights are unalienable. You have both the right and the duty to enforce the laws of the union. The first amendment (and all others) shall be protected and enforced by the second.
We The People shall continue
...“To promote and defend the unalienable God given rights of all citizens, regardless of race, sex or national origin, as is expressed in the the Bill of Rights of the U. S. Constitution.
To promote and defend the principles of just government bequeathed to us by our forefathers to whit, That the principle of the Tenth Amendment shall stand inviolate, as history has shown that the greatest system of checks and balances exists with the people and their States to check the powers accrued by the federal government.
To promote and propagate the militia as a well regulated, (trained and prepared) organization knowledgeable in historical precedent and current affairs, that is composed of common citizens.
To train our members in the many disciplines necessary to the function of the militia as a whole and to the members individually.
To educate our members in areas of history, law and principle as compiled in the experience and records of our forefathers.
To keep informed our members, and all citizens of events Local, State, National and global that threaten to imperial our traditional Constitutional rights, or such as may imperial the sovereignty of our Nation by the undue influence of those who have forsaken their loyalty to our Nation, and to the principles upon which it was founded.
We The People shall continue to proclaim:
That the integrity of the courts, be they local, State or federal, shall remain inviolate providing that they shall respect and uphold the rights of the all citizens, including but not limited to, upholding the due process of law, and to preserve the right of trial by jury and to obtain immediate judicial review of cases wherein abuse of basic Constitutional rights are questioned.
That all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness; for the advancement of those ends they have at all times an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or abolish the government in such manner as they may think proper.
That all just government is servant of the people who have instituted it, that the people of the United States should never by force nor coercion be obliged to anything styled as law which has not been promulgated by their duly elected representatives, nor any as may be promulgated by them to bear conflict to the rights of the people, so that no government shall be made master of the people of the United States.
American Patriots have 2 choices; to shut up forever and lick the boots of the traitors and oppressors or to engage in mass resistance to tyranny.
Just remember...
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater the animating contest for freedom; go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. Samual Adams
