…The whole purpose of the Constitution is, was, and has been to define the government, to impose restraints on the government, and to guarantee personal freedoms. It specifically diffused power between the States and the central government and, within the federal government itself, it separated powers among the three branches…

“…Would any reasonably prudent businessman sign a proposed contract involving a large-scale venture to be conducted over many years, if the other party admitted that most of the contract’s terms were undefined, that some terms were so vague as to be undefinable, and that in the future he intended to interpret all of the contract’s provisions in whatever matter might suit his own purposes at that time? Obviously not. Yet this is precisely the theory of “the living Constitution” that all too many judges and lawyers actually put into practice today…”

“…We must remember that the original Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was passed in 1978 as a result of the U.S. Senate investigations into the federal government’s illegal spying on American citizens. Its purpose was to prevent the abuse of power from occurring in the future by establishing guidelines and prescribing oversight to the process. It was designed to protect citizens, not the government. The effect seems to have been opposite of what was intended. These recent attempts to “upgrade” FISA do not appear to be designed to enhance protection of our civil liberties, but to make it easier for the government to spy on us!…”

His foot became infected, he developed gangrene and they had to amputate his toe…”

“…Evermore apparent too, is the realization that not only are our salaries, standards of living, and expectations being globally harmonized downward, but our individual rights are as well. Through passage of legislation like The Patriot and Military Commissions Acts all Americans will soon share the same low standard of civil liberties as the rest of the world…”

“…According to Levinson, the Constitution is “undemocratic,” a remarkable comment from a supposed law professor. Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution guarantees to every state a republican form of government, not a democratic one. In a republic, people enjoy natural rights, while in a democracy they are limited to “civil rights” granted by the government. In other words, under Levinson’s democracy, the Bill of Rights is meaningless, as it protects minority rights. In a democracy, 51% of the people can vote to rob the remainder of their money, property, even their lives…”

The following prophetic speech delivered to the United States Senate (in the hope of stopping the adoption of the United Nations Charter) was published in the Congressional Record, recording the testimony of Mrs. Catherine P. Baldwin who pleaded with the Senators to reject adoption of the United Nations Charter, and to realize that acceptance of this global Charter would lead to divesting our nation of its substance, (that which held the nation together), and would erode the barriers and safeguards, which had always protected the foundation and principles of our freedom and liberty. Evidence now abounds that U.N. membership (globalization) is destroying U.S. substance.

“…Concentration camps…on American soil. “Preposterous!” you say? Regrettably, quite a reality. KBR, a subsidiary of Cheney’s old stomping grounds, Haliburton, is at this moment building facilities to house and detain large numbers of people. Dow Jones Market Watch notes that the contract “which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to expand existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs…”

“…No amount of mind control spin can absolve any of us from acknowledging this ugly truth about the US and its crimes today. It lurks invisibly behind every corporate news broadcast, every commercially-made television show, every infomercial, every new magazine ad, and almost every new popular song that leads Americans deeper into ever-less-satisfying consumption, self-indulgence and debt. It stands grinning behind every report on the world’s rapacious financial markets and every new automobile, shampoo, or other product that promises to give the world larger and more potent sexual organs, bigger (more ridiculous) breasts, a better love life, and peace of mind….”

“If you knew… really knew… with every fiber of your essence… that you were king or queen… that you were royalty, literally and in the truest sense of the word… if you knew this without any room for doubt… would you behave any differently when dealing with your public servants?!”

“…I have been involved in politics for over 30 years and have never seen the American people so angry. It’s not unusual to sense a modest amount of outrage, but it seems the anger today is unusually intense and quite possibly worse than ever. It’s not easily explained, but I have some thoughts on this matter. Generally, anger and frustration among people are related to economic conditions; bread and butter issues. Yet today, according to government statistics, things are going well. We have low unemployment, low inflation, more homeowners than ever before, and abundant leisure with abundant luxuries. Even the poor have cell phones, televisions, and computers. Public school is free, and anyone can get free medical care at any emergency room in the country. Almost all taxes are paid by the top 50% of income earners. The lower 50% pay essentially no income taxes, yet general dissatisfaction and anger are commonplace. The old slogan “It’s the economy, stupid,” just doesn’t seem to explain things…”

“…230 years ago, the signing of the Declaration of Independence was announced to the citizens of the thirteen original American colonies. Without question, the 56 men who signed it were risking not only their livelihoods and their properties, but their very lives. But they damned the consequences,* and signed it anyway. Why? For freedom…”

How well do you know the Constitution of the United States of America and the current ‘administration’? This modern test is based on Mrs. Mildred Niemic’s “Constitution Test” given on May 7, 1954 and taken by Kenny Highnite, found at American Deception, a site recently established by the author of “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America” (Now available as a free PDF download), Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt. On this Independence Day I encourage you to take an hour of your time to answer as many of the questions as you can. Even if you only read our answers listed at the end, it represents the minimum everyone should know about our government, and the ‘law of the land’–the Constitution of the United States of America.

“…Now that firebrand and apparent gatekeeper of the official version of nine eleven, Ward Churchill, is in the process of losing his job at the university of Colorado, another academic, Kevin Barrett, has come under the gun. “A state lawmaker is calling on the University of Wisconsin-Madison to fire a part-time instructor who has spoken out on his beliefs that figures in the U.S. government, not al-Qaida, were behind the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks,” reports WFRV, a CBS affiliate…”
