Before the dust began to settle around New York City’s twin towers,Washington’s political elites were contemplating the benefits in sheer legislative power a terror attack of such magnitude could bestow upon the benevolent despots of Capitol Hill.
In a secretly recorded 1992 address to the Bilderberg Organization,Henry Kissinger made this statement:“Today’s Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order;tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond,whether real or promulgated,that threatened [their] very existence.” Though Kissinger was speaking to potential domination by a world ruling order,his message can be readily applied to the United States alone where “individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of [the people’s] well-being,granted to them by their…government.”
Since 9/11,the American people have faced the prospect of another attack,one potentially far more deadly than that which transformed New York. And the federal government has taken advantage of the accompanying fear and uncertainty–both “real and promulgated”–to create legislation devoid of any regard for the Constitutional rights of American citizens.
From the Patriot Act with its massive expansion of governmental authority to gather information to the threat of indefinite incarceration of American citizens by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012,Congress has initiated an endless assault on the freedoms affirmed in the Bill of Rights. The exchange of news and ideas has been imperiled by numerous legislative attempts to control the free flow of information on the World Wide Web. A bill was introduced in the United States Senate threatening the forced expatriation of anyone believed to be a supporter of terrorism. The Senate has already passed a measure that “…allows the federal government to revoke the passports of anyone accused of owing back taxes.” And New York Senator Charles Schumer has introduced legislation designed to prevent anyone removing their wealth from the United States unless the IRS receives a healthy cut of it first.
Each of these laws and prospective laws represents a direct attack on due process rights,the “…legal requirement that the state must respect all of the legal rights that are owed to a person…” For it is a common theme in each statute that accusation alone is sufficient to warrant the prescribed penalty. No proof of guilt is required;no charge or indictment need be presented. There is no right to a fair and public trial,no right to an impartial jury,no right to appear in or even present a defense,and of course,there is no right to bail.
Without the guarantee of due process,groups and individuals are easy prey for the almost limitless power of the state. And that is the goal of a clear majority of legislators–to allow the government to punish or rid itself of those who disapprove of its laws and methods without the cumbersome,Constitutional requirement of having to prove actual guilt.
Corrupt,power-hungry politicians predictably claim each new assault on liberty to be necessary for the safety and security of the American people. But contrary to Kissinger’s promise of a “grateful” and “willing” public,Americans have not meekly relinquished their rights to the state. Countless lawsuits have succeeded in overturning large portions of offending statutes while the internet and many media organizations have exposed the unconstitutional nature of others. And Americans across the country have armed themselves as they have at no other time in our history.
D.C. criminals will continue the attack on freedom until they are stopped for good. And that day may come far more quickly and decisively than any of their ilk could imagine.

Soros backs:Obama,Romney and Ron Paul
He created the first fraud poll for Romney…we got that one stopped (however,now it is flying again);He even stated that Obama/Romney are alike;
Then he has HIS team write the rebuttals for Ron Paul.
We all know he is still behind Obama also.
It is divide and conquer so that the Ron Paul people…well,we know how they are….
will split the vote between Romney and Obama…therefore,WE LOSE.
The RNC then stabs us in the back when they forced Newt to "suspend"his run…and taking his security team while leaving Romney his.
THE DAY before the RNC did that to Newt,these were his poll numbers:
Poll –10045 –Gingrich vs. Obama
*Who would you vote for,Newt Gingrich or Barack Obama?*
1. Newt Gingrich (82.9%)

*Whom do you believe has better solutions for the nation's economic
problems?*

THEN,Oh,No! I am not finished yet!!! Newt Gingrich has his campaign site as they all do Newt360. To get Newt completely out of the way —please read the process of how they went about removing Newt.
EVEN IF YOU AREN'T FOR NEWT…this will still tick you off because of the lengths that are being taken to get ROMNEY in which includes defrauding Newt Gingrich:
There is a large number of us who are conservative Republicans who have been posting on a large number of sites for Speaker Gingrich…Newt360.
As of three days ago ALL of us were BANNED. One can be banned for inappropriate language or calling for violence. None of us were guilty of that
We were all given the opportunity to appeal the decision. We never heard back.
Being suspicious of what was going on,we asked a friend to join the site. Speaker Gingrich has a Romney mole in his organization who is kicking us off
his site for donations and other things we can do for him. "On "Newt's Site",THEY decided they would be backing Romney/Santorum.
He needs to know this…! Since We are unable to reach him and we are turning to you to expose this fraud against Newt;and hopefully,see to it that
this information gets back to him in any method necessary.
Gingrich is a good man and he MUST be aware of this situation. We know that your staff is able to reach him so please do the conservatives in this nation a favor and see that he receives this warning.
It won't be difficult to confirm this information. Just go by Newt360 site.
We do hope you can help us by getting this information to Newt and
writing an article an it.
PLEASE,please read the entire article:
Obama Syndicate Plans Imminent Takeover of USA by Islam and Globalists
While Congress ignores it (or secretly supports it),the US courts continue to fall one by one towards accepting and utilizing Shari’a law in place of US law and the wholly-owned-by-the-totalitarian-Left-and/or-the-Saudis (same thing) media continue their mindless and largely irrelevant programming (to continue the mesmerization of the American people) Obama is openly supporting and assisting the Islamist takeover of the USA. I have been writing about this since prior to the Obama syndicate’s usurpation of the White House. However,it’s comforting to know that my more well-known brethren have at last gotten the message and are now,also,writing about it. In the end,we are all in this together!
Recently,Senior Fellow for European Politics at the Madrid-based Grupo de Estudios Soeren Kern wrote in his article “Caliphate Conference”Seeks to Islamize Europe,U.S.”:“The explicit aim of the Istanbul Process—currently backed by the Obama administration—is to make it an international crime to criticize Islam. A Muslim fundamentalist group is organizing a conference focused on turning Austria and other European countries into Islamic states.
“The “Caliphate Conference 2012”will be held on March 10 in the Austrian town of Vösendorf,situated just south of Vienna. The main theme of the event will be “The Caliphate:The State Model of the Future.”
“The conference is being organized by Hizb ut-Tahrir [Party of Liberation],a pan-Islamic extremist group that seeks to establish a global Islamic state,or caliphate,ruled by Islamic Sharia law.”

Your government is very creative. Bothers me that they have convinced so many that their interests are being acted upon. They ain't.

Freedom Is Not Free…
I totally agree with everything you have posted here.
The fight is not over…not by a long shot! I can't believe that the American people are not seeing what is being done. How can they say that Romney is the "Man"when he hasn't even received the "Magic"number of delegates? Until someone gets that 1144 it's still a race. Any of the candidates ( as you stated) can return to the convention with their delegates. It would be a brokered Convention. After the first ballot where the delegates are locked in to their previous choices…the second ballot releases them to vote as they see fit. This is an area where I personally believe that if Newt goes to the Convention…he could do better than anyone even imagined.
The fat lady has not sung her last song! Don't let them decide for you! Fight for the man who you believe will make the best President,because until the candidates get the 1144 delegates…it's anyones race to win.
For the others who are calling folks traitors and un-American because they won't get into lockstep with their thinking….you are behaving like the enemy! You are being led down a garden path by the media and those who don't believe in free thinking. It's time to smell the coffee and wake up. Your future depends on it.
Someone on this site said that if you get conservatives in the seats for Congress and Senate then you can hold Mitt's feet to the fire….Sorry ,but if you feel you need others to babysit the President…then why are you letting them chose who they want for the Nominee? We have all seen how well the babysitters have done in babysitting the current President and stopping him from hurting America and her citizens. They're partying while the baby is playing with matches and gasoline.
If Mitt get's his full count of delegates…then by all means vote for him at election time…get Obama out! But until then…don't let anyone tell you that you must support him,cuz it isn't over till it's over!
