The
Price of Liberty is Three Years Old
By
Susan Callaway, Editor
It didn't hit me until today that our third anniversary was Sunday, October 01. I've spent some time since going through the oldest archives, trying to decide what to show you, and the sad reality is that we're saying the same old things about all the same old problems today as we were then. We don't seem to be making any headway against the tyranny and darkness that surrounds us on this old mud ball. The only glimmer of hope is the growing number of people who seem to be waking up to smell the burning flesh around them! I'm hearing from more and more people who say they finally understand what we've been saying, and many of them ask what they can do to help. The only answer I can come up with is the same one we've been giving for a very long time: (Read the rest here)
Shooting
Blanks In recent weeks, I've been urged to get behind a couple of bills in the House of Representatives. These bills, which are supported by the National Rifle Association, would be good for gun owners, I'm told. According to the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action:
It
Takes A Police State To Raise A Child In the aftermath of Wednesday's hostage taking and murder-suicide at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey, Colorado, I can just hear all the gun grabbers proclaiming that it only goes to show that we cannot tolerate guns in -- or anywhere near -- schools. Well, one of their dream bills has just been passed by Congress. On September 23, World Net Daily reported that the House of Representatives has passed an anti-drug and anti-weapon bill – HR 5295 -- that “would require local districts to develop search policies – including strip searches – with immunity against prosecution for teachers and staff."

American:
Patriot to Profiteer - Aaron Russo The
Movie That Will Cause the Declaration of Worldwide Martial Law. That's my review of Aaron Russo's Masterpiece of Rights. I cannot put it more strongly or simply. One way or the other, this is the movie of your life. The movie will make you sick to your stomach and aware of what the US government is doing by documented evidence of Both Political Parties' activity. We must act now or forever live in fear. ''America:
Freedom to Fascism''' (A:FtF) is an extremely needed exceptional
movie for the exposure and reform of this government's abuse of America.
As one of the many activists that try to stay current with all areas
of the Constitutional abuses of this government, enthusiastic surprise
and relief overtook me as a post revealed "Aaron Russo's -'' America:
Freedom to Fascism - Full Version - For movie screening only" on google
video. Finally, here was the movie in which many are placing their hopes
for release and discovery of much needed information available for mass
consumption. (Read

Newspeak At Newsweek Now for tonight's "Behind the News" story: Reneging on its duty to report the news fairly and accurately, the mainstream media now resorts to fake scandals and faux-tography to keep the audience entertained and its numbers juiced up. Nowhere is that more true than at Newsweek magazine. Remember last year when Newsweek made the claim that military interrogators at Guantanamo had flushed a Koran down the toilet? But when 25,000 pages of documents failed to support the incendiary claim, Newsweek was forced to retract the account. But not before 16 persons died during ugly anti-American riots.

VAWA
Fails To Protect Women Who Need Protection The Most Jane Williamson (not her real name) suffered repeated blows to her head. She went to an abuse shelter and complained about ringing in her right ear and blurred vision in her eye. The shelter staff was unable to detect any visible signs of her partner’s assault. They told her the symptoms would soon clear up, then sent her off to see a psychiatrist. Within a few days Jane became deaf in that ear and blind in one eye. She will never recover her senses. Her attacker never saw a single minute in jail, nor did he pay a cent toward her medical bills. (Read the rest here)
Roads
Are Too Important to be Left to Governments
Billions of dollars and an overwhelming amount of time are wasted every year in traffic congestion. Might there be relief in sight? Earlier this year, former Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta announced a federal initiative to relieve transportation congestion, largely with the help of private fees and tolls. "Congestion is not a fact of life," rightly declared Mr. Mineta, "We need a new approach, and we need it now." One such approach would be to enable the market economy, on which we depend for most other goods and services, to also provide roads. Toll roads were privately supplied two hundred years ago on a large scale in both the U.S. and the UK. Their private provision today is even more practical because modern technology enables customers to pay for road use without tollbooths, and even without vehicles having to stop. (Read the rest here)
Outsourcing
Torture If you want to see the bare essence of the Bush administration, behold its policy of "rendition." The innocuous-sounding word signifies a policy under which American officials send terrorist suspects -- detainees never convicted of crimes -- to countries where they will be tortured, keeping the U.S. government's hands clean of the monstrous treatment. Can anyone with a sense of justice or humane bone in his body defend such a shameful policy? (Read the rest here)
Individual
Liberty - 101 The
Antifederalists Were Right September 27 marks the anniversary of the publication of the first of the Antifederalist Papers in 1789. The Antifederalists were opponents of ratifying the US Constitution. They feared that it would create an overbearing central government, while the Constitution's proponents promised that this would not happen. As the losers in that debate, they are largely overlooked today. But that does not mean they were wrong or that we are not indebted to them. (Read the rest here)
From
The Archives: (11/04/03) To most Americans, the Pledge of Allegiance is that 15-second annoyance that signaled the start of another school day. The ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, concerning the constitutionality of the words “under God,” turned this distant memory into a firestorm of debate. What’s ironic about the Court’s decision is the “under God” provision, which the Court ruled unconstitutional, is the only part of the Pledge that is factually and historically accurate. The wording of the Pledge makes several inferences concerning the system of government established by the Constitution. First, the several States and the American people were consolidated into one nation or republic. Second, there is only one United States and the term refers to a single nation. Third, the flag is the symbol of this consolidated nation. Fourth, one of the purposes of establishing the so-called “one nation” was to guarantee “liberty and justice for all.” Since most Americans have never pondered the wording of the Pledge of Allegiance beyond the “under God” provision, this article will examine the other words of the Pledge.
