The following are notes for another essay-please be patient with the possible disjointedness ...this post really belongs in another location.


Sinclair Lewis wrote book in 1935-6 called "It can't happen here"...the book dealt with a fascist takeover of America that was disguised as a mom and apple pie answer to our problems...

It is happening here...

The founding fathers gave the country a Bill of Rights (itself a compromise)...George Washington and Alexander Hamilton fought against including the Bill of Rights in the Constitution.

The Bill of Rights was not formed within a vacuum- Mason, Jefferson, et al drew upon English Common Law, which guaranteed the individual citizen certain rights ( The charter of 1688, Magna Carta, etc.)...As far back as 560 BC in Persia, Cyrus the Great offered a list of God(s) given rights that Monarchs had to honor...

Gradually, most of our rights ( and some privileges)have been jettisoned.

What as happened? In a sense, there has been a time-release coup, from November 22, 1963, up to September 11, 2001, and beyond.

Three corporations own or control about 80% of all the voting machines-go to Blackboxvoting.org for details. Vote tallies are fixed.

The Military-Industrial complex has actually mutated...

Key events in our legal decline: 1913, Federal Reserve System and income tax's begin...
1949- several intelligence agencies formed...

Almost every Supreme Court decision on the Fourth Amendment has strengthened police powers (examples: the running law, the weaving law, etc.)

President Nixon ordered the IRS to audit political opponents, a practice that continues today.

AT&T et al plan to meter the internet, the way cable TV is metered...You will soon have to pay a fee to get basic internet...the extra sites will cost you an arm and a leg...the under-capitalized websites will eventually vanish, leaving the average citizen with a mediocre, sanitized internet selection. This will happen by 2013...unless you get off your butt and loudly protest.

Bible quotes from Isaiah , Amos, Jesus...

Quotes from the Founding Fathers...

Quotes from various Thinkers

Cointelpro...MK-ultra...

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the free speech, or the press; or the right of the people peacefully to assemble, and petition the Government for a redress of grievances"

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or things to be seized"
