From the page: "The point of this linguistic lesson is this: The majority of what the �oefreedom movement” does essentially consists of the victims of tyranny saying to the tyrants, �oePlease stop oppressing us!” Whether one is lobbying for �oelegislation,” or trying to get a certain candidate elected, a dual message is being sent to those in power: A) �oeWe want government to stop doing this to us,” and B) �oewe accept that the choice of whether to stop doing it is government�s (not ours) to make.” Consider just two examples (out of hundreds that could be used):

1) When one lobbies for lower �oetaxes,” it conveys a two-fold message: A) �oeWe�d like to keep more of our money,” and B) �oeWe accept that it is up to you, the politicians, to decide how much we can keep.” (Contrast that with what was done at the �oeBoston Tea Party.”)

2) When one lobbies against so-called �oegun control,” both messages are again implied: A) �oeWe�d like to keep our guns,” but B) �oewe agree that we need �legal� permission from you politicians in order to have the right to do so.” (Contrast that with what happened in Lexington, with the �oeShot Heard �Round the World.”)"



"Once the people stop viewing themselves as slaves, and stop viewing the politicians as masters, voting and lobbying will end, and the people will stop saying "please" to those who claim the right to rule them. Only then will freedom defeat tyranny."

US terrorism and intimidatory surveillance knows no bounds. Humans are cattle to the US government, to be monitored and controlled at every second of their lives.

From the page: "One of the things that I find most disconcerting about my homeland, the nation I love, is the sheer complacency I now see in Americans. The literal future of America is being squandered by pathetic 'leaders' and corrupt greedy insiders, yet Americans blink, yawn and go right back to grazing.



There was a time when we, as a colony of citizens, put our lives and fortunes on the line to cast out King George. What we have today as a US 'government' is far worse than what our Founding Fathers rose up against, yet Americans just blink and snooze rather than face the realities that are undermining their freedoms and liberties each and every day."

Despicable government kidnapper and terrorist pretends the torture victim was the terrorist. : ""Of course it was an illegal operation," the newspaper quoted him. "But that's our job. We're at war against terrorism". "

Another day in the Terrorist Kingdom of Great Britain as police and authorities close ranks to cover up for government thugs wo perpetrated manslaughter.: ""We hope your report will look into whether police tried to cover up our father's death," Tomlinson's son, Richard King, told the panel. "We feel we were led down the garden path. We do feel it was a cover-up from the beginning. He [was struck] in front of 18 officers. Not one of the officers came forward to say they witnessed what happened. Not one of the officers went to give him first aid. Not one of the officers went to help him off the floor."



His brother, Paul King, added: "There have been four inquiries into the demonstrations and the policing of G20 and we want to know why the dog that bit Ian, the baton strike and the push to the floor have not been mentioned. He was an innocent man on his way home. We have lost our dad."



However, Victoria Borwick, the Conservative chair of the panel, told the family that she believed it would be "inappropriate" for the MPA �" the body responsible for holding the force to account �" to take up their concerns. "There is nothing any of us can say to reverse the situation of what happened last April," she added. "We are extremely sorry."



After the meeting, Borwick said she meant to say her committee would take legal advice on whether it could investigate the alleged cover-up.



Within 24 hours of Tomlinson's death, police became aware that their officers may have been involved in a physical altercation with him. However, in public, police refused to confirm there had been contact and resisted calls for an independent investigation until five days later, when the Guardian revealed video footage of the incident."

American courts corrupt as hell.: "SCOTT HORTON: Exactly right. But it raises exactly the same legal issues that Armando Spataro�s case did. And what we see is just a completely different treatment in Italy versus the United States. So the Italians, they listened to the immunity claims, they listened to all these other defenses, but nevertheless, for the Italian justice system, the extraordinary rendition process clearly was a crime. There was no getting around that. And that�s what led, in the end of the day, to the convictions, whereas on the American side, we see the court bending over backwards, basically to protect political figures from embarrassment. "
