UPDATED: Ron Suskind: White House ordered forgery to link al-Qaeda/Saddam to 9/11 attacks
Saturday, August 9, 2008 By Your-Rights.com This should be more than enough evidence to HOLD THESE CROOKS ACCOUNTABLE for their DECEITFUL, murderous, CRIMES! UPDATED AGAIN! This is HUGE! Out Damn Blot: A Letter to Colin Powell By Ray McGovern August 15, 2008 UPDATED: In damning transcript, ex-CIA official says Cheney likely ordered letter linking Hussein to 9/11 attacks. Here's a quote from Ron Suskind's new book, The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism: The White House had concocted a fake letter from Habbush to Saddam, backdated to July 1, 2001. It said that 9/11 ringleader Mohamed Atta had actually trained for his mission in Iraq — thus showing, finally that there was an operational link between Saddam and al Qaeda… The letter also mentioned suspicious shipments to Iraq from Niger set up with al Qaeda’s assistance. The idea was to take the letter to Habbush and have him transcribe it in his own neat handwriting on a piece of Iraqi government stationery, to make it look legitimate. CIA would then take the finished product to Baghdad and have someone release it to the media. MUST WATCH! Video: Keith Olbermann Interviews Pulizer Prize Winner Ron Suskind About His Newest Book. August, 4th 2008 (YouTUBE link) This article is a MUST READ! Read the article and all the related links. Bush finally admits that Iraq had "NOTHING" to do with the attacks on the World Trade Center.

Federal Court: U.S. Can Jail Civilians Indefinitely WITHOUT Being Charged with a Crime
From DemocracyNow! - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 A federal appeals court has ruled President Bush can order the indefinite jailing of civilians imprisoned in the United States WITHOUT Charges. Editors note: On October 17, 2006, President George W. Bush signed into law the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA). Even elected officials, like Republican Senator Arlen Specter, who publicly acknowledged that the MCA is "patently unconstitutional on its face," voted for it. The Military Commissions Act of 2006 authorizes the President to detain anyone, including U.S. Citizens, without charge by designating them enemy combatants or unlawful enemy combatants. The Military Commissions Act of 2006 authorizes the President to determine what constitutes torture. The Military Commissions Act of 2006 authorizes the use of evidence obtained by coercion (TORTURE) and the use of hearsay. Some people can't believe this is really happening. When confronted with information such as this, people sometimes respond with some type of apathetic comment such as, "As long as it doesn't directly effect me..." or the most incredulous statement, "It's THEIR country, I just live in it." For these people, this is just about the best ammo a person can get to help convince them that yes, it does DIRECTLY effect them! The President CAN point a finger at THEM and put them in JAIL FOREVER... JUST BECAUSE!!! Yes, it does directly effect everyone because according to the Military Commissions Act of 2006, the President gets to define the meaning of "Unlawful Enemy Combatant." It is also the President (or his attorney General) who gets to decide who falls within the classification of "Unlawful Enemy Combatant." So... that effectively leaves out NO ONE! We are ALL effected! Hmm... Isn't this how it works in dictatorship type societies such as China or Russia? Read More [ permalink ] |

EX-ABU GHRAIB INMATES SUE US FIRMS FOR TORTURE
From CommonDreams - Tuesday, July 1, 2008 By Agence France Presse ISTANBUL - Four Iraqis are suing two US firms and their employees for allegedly torturing them at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Bagdad five years ago. Their lawsuit is against private security contractor CACI International and two of its interrogators, Daniel Johnson and Tim Dugan, and the translation agency L-3 (formerly Titan Corp) and its interpreter, Abel Nakhla, lawyer William Gould told AFP in Istanbul on Monday. Their complaint was to be lodged Monday at courts in Maryland, Ohio and Washington — the US states where the alleged torturers live — as well as Michigan, where L-3 recruited most of its interpreters, said Gould who met his Iraqi clients in Istanbul. He said the court cases would show that the accused were in Abu Ghraib and involved in a CONSPIRACY that included the torture of the plaintiffs. Read More [ permalink ] |

Bush Knew About Torture Techniques AND Approved Them
Monday, April 14, 2008 By Your-Rights.com Cause of detainee death was HOMICIDE according to Army CID investigation autopsy! An autopsy was performed as part of what seems to be part of an Army CID investigation of a detainee. The medical examiner said the cause of death was HOMICIDE! To quote the medical examiner from the autopsy report: ''This 47-year-old White male, [redacted], died of blunt force injuries and asphyxia. The autopsy disclosed multiple blunt force injuries, including deep contusions of the chest wall, numerous displaced rib fractures, lung contusions, and hemorrhage into the mesentery of the small and large intestine. An examination of the neck structures revealed hemorrhage into the strap muscles and fractures of the thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone. According to the investigative report provided by U.S. Army CID, the decedent was shackled to the top of a doorframe with a gag in his mouth at the time he lost consciousness and became pulseless. This autopsy report by its self is very disturbing. And on top of that autopsy report, we have George W. Bush admitting he not only knew WHAT WAS GOING ON, but that key administration officials discussed specific torture techniques. George W. Bush ADMITS he approved torture! Bush: "I Was Aware" of Harsh Tactics (cached) ABC News President Bush says he knew his top national security advisers discussed and approved specific details about how high-value al Qaeda suspects would be interrogated by the Central Intelligence Agency, according to an exclusive interview with ABC News Friday. What makes me the most angry about this whole mess... Ron Suskind: White House ordered forgery to link al-Qaeda/Saddam to 9/11 attacks The FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11 (search) NO LINK has been found between al Qaeda and Iraq before we invaded. (search) George W. Bush tells a reporter that Iraq had "NOTHING" to do with the World Trade Center 9/11 attacks. (video) U.S. and Allied Intelligence Services Had Penetrated The Highest Levels of Al Qaeda Prior to 9/11 (search) (old link) BUSH DID NOT LIE! There WAS a connection between Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein! The connection was the BUSH FAMILY!!! So... The REAL Terrorists attacked on 9/11. George W. Bush used these attacks to ILLEGALLY invade a country that had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. Then George W. Bush captures the people who tried to protect their country from his illegal invasion. Then... George W. Bush imprisons these INNOCENT people with no charges, no access to an attorney, no Habeas Corpus. THEN, George W. Bush authorizes innocent people to be tortured for information about ties to al Qaeda that didn't even exist before our illegal invasion! Then the C.I.A. DESTROYS THE EVIDENCE OF TORTURE as a Judge Sought Interrogation Data! All of this torture, George W. Bush says, is to ''protect'' the American people from the al Qaeda threat that didn't even exist before Bush invaded Iraq! So, after knowing all of this, why hasn't the United States Congress STARTED IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS? Maybe it is because THEY ARE MAKING TO MUCH MONEY FROM THE WAR!

Discovery Channel drops its plans to air documentary about the US military torturing an innocent Afghan taxi driver to death because it's too ''controversial''
From Think Progress - Tuesday, February 12, 2008 By Amanda UPDATED! Taxi to the Dark Side is currently playing in theaters. This may be your only opportunity to see this film. Find movie showtimes for your location on Internet Movie Database, Fandango or Yahoo! Taxi to the Dark Side, a documentary about an innocent Afghan taxi driver tortured to death by U.S. officials at Bagram Air Base, has received wide critical acclaim since its debut in April at the Tribeca Film Festival. The New York Times's A.O. Scott said, "If recent American history is ever going to be discussed with the necessary clarity and ethical rigor, this film will be essential." Apparently, the Discovery Channel bought the rights to this documentary in order to keep it from being broadcast on televison! This is censorship at its finest! Apparently the Discovery Channel is the "See no evil, hear no evil" channel! If a lot of people write letters to the Discovery Channel demanding they broadcast Taxi to the Dark Side, maybe they will change their minds and air this documentary. Here is their address: The Discovery Channel 7700 Wisconsin Avenue Bethesda, MD 20814 (301) 986-0444 RELATED: Democracy NOW! - Discovery Channel Accused of Political Censorship for Dropping Oscar-Nominated Doc on U.S. Torture This article was originally posted on Saturday, February 9, 2008.

PROOF: Plans for North American Union (NAU) are REAL
Monday, January 21, 2008 By Your-Rights.com On January 22, 2007, Rep. Virgil H. Goode, Jr. introduced H.CON.RES.40 titled "Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada." This bill has 43 co-sponsors. After campaigning to have the North American Union artlcle restored in Wikipedia, it is back! Thanks to all who helped! Alex jones and his crew has compiled a long list of news articles that mention the North American Union. We have witnessed a congressional bill describing the North American Union. We have Alex Jones' huge list of news articles about it, yet people still won't believe it is real! Professor Robert Pastor says the North American Union is JUST A CRISIS AWAY. Pastor "believes a new 9/11 crisis could be the catalyst to merge the U.S., Mexico and Canada." ( Dr. Robert A. Pastor served as co-chair and a member of the 2005 Council on Foreign Relations' Independent Task Force on the Future of North America.) Now that you know who Dr. Robert A. Pastor is, do you believe what he is saying? If ANYONE on this planet knows about what is going on, this is the person! Rep. Cynthia McKiney said that she believes the Federal Government is controlled by a criminal syndicate. This might sound like a conspiracy theory, until you EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE! More not so SECRET GOVERNMENT PLANS Exposed: To clarify...

CIA), Congress, Council on Foreign Relations, etc. The Protect America Act (search) New Law Gives Government Six Months to Turn Internet and Phone Systems into Permanent Spying Architecture "There has never been a more urgent need to preserve fundamental privacy protections and our system of checks and balances than the need we face today, as illegal government spying, provisions of the Patriot Act and government-sponsored torture programs transcend the bounds of law and our most treasured values in the name of national security." -- ACLU The Real ID Act (search) Montana Governor Foments Real ID Rebellion States to Track Drivers Through Licenses "A federal program promotes driving license technology that allows the tracking of motorists even WHEN THEY ARE NOT DRIVING."The RFID chip would be voluntary under the proposed legislation, but if the past is any indication, it may not be for long. "Seat belt legislation started with child-restraint laws, then secondary enforcement, and finally a full-on mandate in the majority of states. Why does this legislative escalation occur? It's simple.

Proof: BUSH AUTHORIZED TORTURE plus Waterboarding videos
Friday, December 7, 2007 By Your-Rights.com Printed on page A6 of the Friday, December 7th issue of the Seattle-P.I. is this Associated Press (AP) news article which says it all, right in the same paragraph. They are too afraid to use the word "TORTURE!" and instead call it, "harsh questioning methods." The article goes on to explain in the very next sentence that one of the "harsh questioning methods" is "waterboarding, which simulates drowning." Here is the key paragraph... "CIA Director Michael Hayden said the CIA began taping the interrogations as an internal check on the program after President Bush authorized the use of harsh questioning methods. The methods included waterboarding, which simulates drowning, government officials said."Notice how the author seriously plays down the fact that Bush authorized torture by how they worded the paragraph. The sentences should have said this, "President Bush authorized the use of TORTURE, including waterboarding, which simulates drowning." "His sufferings must be that of a man who is drowning, but cannot drown." - Lt. Grover Flint, Philippine-American WarYou can clearly see that waterboarding is torture from the waterboarding video's listed below: (playlist) Waterboarding video 1 In this video clip, Robin Williams shows us waterboarding. This is from the 1999 film, "Jakob the Liar." Waterboarding video 2 This video clip is from the 1997 movie, "G.I. Jane". Waterboarding video 3 This video clip is from MSNBC's "Countdown" with Keith Olbermann. What do you think was the real reason the CIA destroyed those torture tapes? They didn't want to risk anyone knowing what they really did!!! Think about this for a minute... Is it possible that any of the video's presented here may be very mild in nature compared to what really happened in Guantanomo? Waterboarding is listed at a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. Demand IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS NOW!!! There has been incredible naivety among Americans who have questioned whether or not Bush authorized the use of torture. This is due to the Press NOT doing their jobs along with intense government secrecy, secret prisions, etc. The only reason this article was even written was because the Government said it happened! Where is investigative reporting??? Instead all we have is the Press parroting whatever Government officials are saying. Related: George W.

Impeachment: If not now, when?
From Seattle Post-Intelligencer - Saturday, November 24, 2007 By LINDA BOYD Lawmakers need to stand up for the Constitution and support impeachment The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. -- Article II, Section 4 On Nov. 6, Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney on the floor of the House of Representatives. For one shining moment the will of the majority of Americans and the promise of this nation's founders were truly represented. The detailed charges were solemnly read from the House podium and televised on C-Span. House Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer made a motion to table the bill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lobbied hard for votes to table. In a stunning turnaround, House Republicans changed strategy and voted decisively to prevent tabling the impeachment resolution. Pelosi was defied by 85 Democratic members who voted against tabling the impeachment resolution. This includes John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and six committee members. The resolution was quickly voted back to the Judiciary Committee, where it is not resting quietly. Judiciary Committee member Bob Wexler wrote, "The American people are served well with a legitimate and thorough impeachment inquiry. I will urge the Judiciary Committee to schedule impeachment hearings immediately and not let this issue languish as it has over the last six months. Only through hearings can we begin to correct the abuses of Dick Cheney and the Bush administration." Impeachment is squarely on the table, and momentum is building. A year ago, almost no elected official breathed the word impeachment. Now impeachment has hit the House floor, and our electeds have gone on record. Millions of Americans are demanding an end to executive abuse of power. After six years of state of emergency, the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, continual war and occupations, our Constitution is deeply in crisis. Americans are in danger of losing our system of government and civil rights if they do not roll back the Bush administration's assault on the rule of law. Allowing Cheney and George W. Bush to finish their terms without being impeached means future presidents are free to copy their lawless behavior. Of course many important issues deserve the attention of Congress. But the Constitution is the foundation of our democracy, not just an issue. Without the Constitution, we have nothing. Polls show that 74 percent of Democrats and the majority of American adults support impeaching Cheney. "Never in our history have the high crimes and misdemeanors been so flagrant, and the people of our country know it," writes local author Richard Behan. Kucinich has targeted Cheney first, but investigations will implicate the president as well. For the first time in the history of the Gallup Poll, 50 percent of respondents say they "strongly disapprove" of the president. Richard Nixon had reached the previous high, 48 percent, just before an impeachment inquiry was launched in 1974. With these numbers, why aren't Bush and Cheney gone already? The vice president is accused of:
These violations of the Constitution and international treaty are just the tip of the iceberg. More articles of impeachment can be added at any time, and ample evidence to convict is on the public record. Representatives need to introduce articles regarding:
It's astounding that our representatives to Congress carry on with business as usual knowing that Americans lack habeas corpus and a working code of law. I want my representative, Dave Reichert, to block the doors of the House until habeas is restored as a basic human right in this nation! In light of Bush's steady drumbeat for war with Iran, Kucinich said he will consider an impeachment resolution against him. "Impeachment may well be the only remedy which remains to stop a war of aggression against Iran," he says. "The most conservative principle of the Founding Fathers was distrust of unchecked power. Centuries of experience substantiated that absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Constitution embraced a separation of powers to keep the legislative, executive and judicial branches in equilibrium," Bruce Fein, a constitutional lawyer and associate deputy attorney general in the Reagan administration, said in the October 2006 edition of Washington Monthly. If Congress were serious about oversight, there already would be dozens of bills and resolutions calling for impeachment of Bush and Cheney. The "Unitary Executive Theory" violates the principle of balance of power in the Constitution. The president cites this "unitary" power in hundreds of signing statements that say he can ignore laws passed by Congress. The First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments are all now subject to the caprice of government officials. The Military Commissions Act allows U.S. citizens to be detained without due process if they are declared enemy combatants. Without our permission, this country has become an exporter of torture. Congress has failed to provide oversight and exercise its authority to rein in a criminal administration. Only swift action on impeachment can redeem it now. The people have done the heavy work of bringing impeachment forward. Representatives need only ask if the allegations are serious enough to warrant investigations. George Bush and Dick Cheney promote an imperial presidency. They assert that the executive is the most powerful branch of government, undermining the judiciary and Congress in violation of the Constitution's bedrock principle of shared power among three co-equal branches. This subverts the very nature of our system of government. "This is an attempt by the president to have the final word on his own constitutional powers, which eliminates the checks and balances that keep the country a democracy. ... That's a big problem because that's essentially a dictatorship," Fein said. Washington For Impeachment and Citizens to Impeach Bush and Cheney are working to inform the public, collect signatures to petitions, provide forums, and lobby representatives. Washington was the second state to sponsor a bill for impeachment in the state Legislature. Washington State Democratic organizations have passed resolutions in 11 Democratic legislative districts, five counties and the Washington State Democratic Central Committee. Jay Inslee, D-Bainbridge Island, has received impeachment resolutions from almost every legislative district within his congressional district. When will he represent the will of his constituents and honor his oath to protect the Constitution? The national movement to impeach is a non-partisan effort to restore the Constitution and the rule of law. People across the political spectrum can unite to preserve the Constitution and civil liberties given to us by the founders. Impeachment is the peaceful, orderly, constitutionally prescribed way to rid ourselves of a lawless administration. The issue is not about removing Bush and Cheney as much as it is about preserving the Constitution and redeeming the office of the executive. The Constitution is the contract of governance between the people and the government. What happens when major portions of the contract are violated? Congress has failed to call the president and vice president to account, so citizens must turn up the heat. Members of Congress who fail to demand investigations are covering for criminals. Every elected official has sworn an oath to "support and protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic." Anything less than impeachment and a full repudiation of the Bush administration's crimes and violations of the law is a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of the public trust. If we want our democracy back, we need to roll up our sleeves and get to work to clean out the House. Linda Boyd is director of Washington For Impeachment, washingtonforimpeachment.org.

Rumsfeld Charged with Torture in French Court
From commondreams.org - Monday, October 29, 2007 By Haider Rizvi Donald Rumsfeld, the former U.S. secretary of defense, is facing criminal charges in France for ordering the torture of prisoners in Iraq and at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay. The charges against Rumsfeld were brought under the 1984 Convention against Torture, ratified by both the United States and France, which has been used in France in previous torture cases. The criminal complaint states that because of the failure of authorities in the United States and Iraq to launch any independent investigation, it is the legal obligation of states such as France to take up the case.

"First they came for the terrorists but I wasn't a terrorist so I stayed silent and went about my business. Then they came for those suspected of terrorism, but I certainly wasn't a suspect so I stayed silent and went about my business. Then they came for those who defended those who were suspected of terrorism, but I wasn't defending such people so I stayed silent and went about my business. Then, one day, they came and began to "suspect" me, so I stayed very, very silent and went about my business. And that is how I lost my soul." Here is more information about these issues: Friday, July 20, 2007 JEFF KOSSEFF The Oregonian Staff WASHINGTON -- Oregonians called Peter DeFazio's office, worried there was a conspiracy buried in the classified portion of a White House plan for operating the government after a terrorist attack. As a member of the U.S. House on the Homeland Security Committee, DeFazio, D-Ore., is permitted to enter a secure "bubbleroom" in the Capitol and examine classified material. So he asked the White House to see the secret documents. On Wednesday, DeFazio got his answer: DENIED. "I just can't believe they're going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack," DeFazio says. Homeland Security Committee staffers told his office that the White House initially approved his request, but it was later quashed. DeFazio doesn't know who did it or why. "We're talking about the continuity of the government of the United States of America," DeFazio says. "I would think that would be relevant to any member of Congress, let alone a member of the Homeland Security Committee." Bush administration spokesman Trey Bohn declined to say why DeFazio was denied access: "We do not comment through the press on the process that this access entails. It is important to keep in mind that much of the information related to the continuity of government is highly sensitive." Norm Ornstein, a legal scholar who studies government continuity at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, said he "cannot think of one good reason" to deny access to a member of Congress who serves on the Homeland Security Committee. "I find it inexplicable and probably reflective of the usual, knee-jerk overextension of executive power that we see from this White House," Ornstein said. This is the first time DeFazio has been denied access to documents. DeFazio has asked Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., to help him access the documents. "Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right," DeFazio said.

If you read all the information in those two posts AND THE LINKS, YOU will be "madder than a Hornet" and CALLING your Congressperson and telling them this: "It's Time To Appoint a Special Prosecutor to Investigate the President's Actions With Respect to the NSA's Warrantless Wiretapping." "With the Executive plainly subject to an intense conflict of interest, the appointment of an independent special prosecutor - as occurred in the Valerie Plame leak case - is necessary. But unlike in the leak case, here, the entire Executive branch, including the Department of Justice, is implicated. So, to ensure fairness, Congress or a court must mandate the appointment. You will call your congressperson, right?! Do you need to make a note to remember? Please don't forget about this! Tags: nsa spying, impeach, cheney, torture Read More [ permalink ] |

IMPEACH? WE THE PEOPLE MUST SOON DECIDE!
Monday, July 23, 2007 By Your-Rights.com PLEASE read the reference materials in this article! It is time for everyone to take a very serious look at life and what life means to you. You must decide, in a very short time, if you value the lives of not only your spouse, your children, relatives, friends and neighbors; but also the lives of other people living in American and around the world that you have never met. You must also ask yourself if you value the suffrage and loss of life that many, many people before us have sacrificed in order to uphold the Constitution of the United States and to defend our democratic process and values. What you must decide is if the lives of these people are important enough to make sure that Bush and his followers cannot achieve their dreams of empire. The desires for world domination are unmistakably their motivations. Leaving very little to the imagination, seeing their plot performed before our very eyes is like reading a poorly written fiction. For they are all around us, so abundant and clear, one must be very naive and ignorant to not see the signs of tyranny encroaching upon every aspect of our lives. If you value your freedoms to live, work, travel, raise your family and most importantly, to be free without fear; to be able to accomplish your dreams, then it is time to make this decision. As George W. Bush himself once said, "Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." This too, is what you must decide and you must decide this very soon. But before you decide, lets examine the definitions of a few words from Wiktionary.org. terrorist (plural terrorists)
terrorism (uncountable)
terror
torture (plural tortures)
treason (plural treasons)
Now that we have refreshed our memory with what these terms mean. It is time to think about the decision everyone must make. Not only must you make this decision very soon, but you also must discern whom are the real terrorists. Are the real terrorists the ones killing our troops in Iraq or are they the ones trying to intimidate the American population with clear intentions of dictatorship cited throughout one presidential directive after another? After you make your decision, it is then your civil duty to call, write and e-mail your representative to let them know where you stand! Use House.gov to find your representative's addresses. House switchboard: (202) 224-3121 -- TTY: (202) 225-1904 John Conyers says: "3 More Congress Members and I'll Impeach." Have your representative sign on to Dennis Kucinich's IMPEACHMENT bill, H.RES.333!!! Remember the bullies from grade school? The Bush administration is no different! Stand up for your Constitutional rights! Don't let Bush and his bullies intimidate you! IMPEACH!!! DO IT NOW!!! Do this not only for the reasons mentioned above, but do it also for your grand children's grandchildren! Do it for the future of our planet! Your decision to be a responsible American and take action or to display your apathy through inaction will directly effect the lives of generations to come! We are either going to sink or swim. Which one are YOU going to do? There are grammatical errors in the above text which remain on purpose to reflect that the author was a product of the American public education system. The following text is from the Call to drive out the Bush regime: And there is a way. We are talking about something on a scale that can really make a huge change in this country and in the world. We need more than fighting Bush's outrages one at a time, constantly losing ground to the whole onslaught. We must, and can, aim to create a political situation where the Bush regime's program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking society is reversed. We, in our millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of history. Acting in this way, we join with and give support and heart to people all over the globe who so urgently need and want this regime to be stopped. This will not be easy. If we speak the truth, they will try to silence us. If we act, they will to try to stop us. But we speak for the majority, here and around the world, and as we get this going we are going to reach out to the people who have been so badly fooled by Bush and we are NOT going to stop. History is full of examples where people who had right on their side fought against tremendous odds and were victorious. And it is also full of examples of people passively hoping to wait it out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what they ever imagined. The future is unwritten. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US !

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." -- James Madison (1751-1836) Let's also not forget what our wonderful President once said: "There ought to be limits to freedom."

They feel that OUR GOVERNMENT IS CHANGING from a Democracy into a Totalitarian and Militaristic state which uses a hateful brand of Theocracy as a means of social engineering and social control to manipulate the citizens. When Thomas Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers of the United States created the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution they included language or terms which stated that the United States would be ruled by consent of the governed and that there would be separation of church and state.
